Ingredients

  • 1 lb Cavatappi or Elbow Macaroni
  • 1/4 cup Butter
  • 1/4 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 2 1/2 cup Whole Milk
  • 1 pinch Nutmeg ground
  • Kosher Salt to taste
  • 1 1/2 cup White Cheddar shredded
  • 1 cup Fontina shredded
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan grated (divided)
  • 1 lb Cooked Lobster roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup Panko Breadcrumbs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook cavatappi until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Sprinkle over flour and cook until slightly golden, 2-3 minutes. Pour in milk and whisk until combined. Season with nutmeg if using, salt, and pepper. Let simmer until thickened slightly, about 2 minutes.
