Ingredients
- 8 oz lobster meat cooked and chopped
- 2 cups elbow macaroni uncooked
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup Gruyere cheese grated
- 2 cups milk warm
- 4 tbsp butter unsalted
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs optional, for topping
- 2 tbsp parsley fresh, chopped, optional for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and stir continuously to make a roux. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, until the mixture turns a light golden color.
- Slowly add the warm milk to the roux, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar and grated gruyere cheese. Mix until fully melted and smooth.
- Season the cheese sauce with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Adjust to taste.
- Add the cooked macaroni and lobster meat to the cheese sauce and stir until evenly coated.
- Transfer the macaroni and cheese mixture to a baking dish. Sprinkle the top with breadcrumbs, if using.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy your luxurious Lobster Macaroni and Cheese!
