1 hour 10 minutes


Ingredients

8 ounce elbow macaroni

4 tablespoon unsalted butter

2 cup whole milk

4 ounce cream cheese

2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 pound cooked lobster meat

½ teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

2 tablespoon chopped chives

1 clove garlic, minced


Directions

1.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook the elbow macaroni in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, according to package instructions.

2.

In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about one minute until fragrant.

3.

Whisk in the whole milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in the cream cheese, whisking until fully melted and smooth.

4.

Add the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese to the saucepan, stirring continuously until the cheese has fully melted into a smooth sauce.

5.

Season the cheese sauce with salt, pepper, and paprika. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary for personal preference.

6.

Gently fold the cooked lobster meat into the cheese sauce. Ensure the lobster is evenly distributed throughout the sauce.

7.

Combine the cooked macaroni with the cheese and lobster mixture, stirring to ensure the pasta is completely coated with the sauce.

8.

Transfer the lobster mac and cheese to a baking dish. Spread the panko breadcrumbs evenly over the top for a crispy texture.

9.

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbling.

10.

Garnish the baked lobster mac and cheese with chopped chives before serving. Serve warm and enjoy this decadent dish.
