Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni
  • 1.5 cups cooked lobster meat, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 0.5 cup breadcrumbs (optional)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnishing)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add in the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions for al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Make the Cheese Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in flour, stirring for 1-2 minutes until it creates a light roux. Gradually add milk, stirring smooth, and heat until thickened. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Add Cheeses and Combine: Remove from heat and fold in shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses until melted and well combined.
  4. Mix the Pasta and Lobster: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce. Gently fold in the chopped lobster.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the lobster mac and cheese mixture into a greased baking dish.
  6. Optional Topping: Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the mac and cheese if you desire a crispy top.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Bake for about 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Serve with Flair: Let it sit for a few minutes once baked, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

Pairs well with a fresh arugula salad and chilled white wine. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
