Ingredients
- 1 lb macaroni
- 16 oz lobster meat cooked, chopped
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 2 cups heavy whipped cream
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 tsp salt adjust to preference
- 3 cups cheddar cheese shredded, divided
- 3 cups gouda cheese shredded, divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, set a large saucepan over medium heat. Melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Cook for 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream and milk and continue to whisk. Cook the sauce for five minutes, or until it thickens.
- Turn off the heat and stir in four cups of cheese (two cups of each kind) until fully incorporated. Season with salt to taste.
- Toss together the cooked lobster, pasta, and cheese sauce until evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish and sprinkle the remaining two cups of cheese on top.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Enjoy!
