Ingredients
- 5-6 lobster tails cooked and chopped
- 4 1/2 cups cheddar cheese freshly shredded and divided
- 1 cup gruyere cheese shredded
- 1 cup parmesan cheese grated
- 1 stick butter
- 6 tablespoons flour
- 5 cups whole milk
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder optional
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg optional
- pepper to taste
- 1 pound elbow macaroni or cavatappi pasta cooked
- flat leaf parsley chopped optional
Instructions
- Cook the lobster according to preference. I like to broil my lobster.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees with rack in the middle of oven.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour to melted butter and stir until thickened, about 3 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in milk a little at a time. The slower you add the milk the thicker the sauce will be.
- Stir in 3 cups of cheddar cheese, gruyere cheese, and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese into the sauce. Reserve 1 1/2 cups cheddar and 1/2 cup parmesan for the top.
- Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, mustard powder and nutmeg to the sauce, stir until combined.
- Stir together the cooked macaroni noodles, lobster and the sauce and transfer to a 9 x 13 baking dish, that has been prepped with cooking spray if needed. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake in the oven until golden and bubbling, 20-25 minutes.
- Sprinkle with flat leaf parsley if desired.
