Servings: 8 People
Ingredients
- 5-6 lobster tails
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 5 cups whole milk
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded gruyere cheese
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder, optional
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg, optional
- pepper to taste
- 1 pound cooked elbow macaroni
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- chopped flat leaf parsley, optional
Instructions
- Cook the 5-6 lobster tails according to preference. I like to use this Best Lobster Tail Recipe. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit with a rack in the middle of the oven.
- Melt ½ cup unsalted butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour to melted butter and stir until thickened, about 3 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in 5 cups whole milk a little at a time. The slower you add the milk the thicker the sauce will be.
- Stir in 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup shredded gruyere cheese, and ½ cup grated parmesan cheese into the sauce.
- Add 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon mustard powder, ½ teaspoon nutmeg, and pepper to taste to the sauce, stir until combined.
- Stir together the 1 pound cooked elbow macaroni, lobster, and the sauce and transfer to a 9 x 13 baking dish, that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
- Spread the 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese and ½ cup grated parmesan cheese over the top of the macaroni and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Sprinkle with chopped flat leaf parsley, for garnish, and serve.
