Tips to Keep in Mind

You also have the full liberty to choose any small pasta that you like and add it to this recipe, and that wouldn’t affect the taste or the experience at all. Lastly, if you are unable to put your hand on fresh lobster, you can choose canned lobsters instead.

Ingredients

● Cavatappi ( or other small pasta) – 1lb.

● Butter – ¼ cup

● All-purpose flour - ¼ cup

● Milk – 2 ½ cups

● Kosher salt – as per taste

● Grounded black pepper

● Nutmeg – a small pinch (optional)

● Cooked and chopped lobster – 1lb.

● White Cheddar (shredded) – 1 ½ cups

● Fontina (shredded) – 1 cup

● Parmesan (shredded) – ¾ cup

● Breadcrumbs – ½ cup

● Extra virgin olive oil – 1 tbsp

● Parsley (chopped) – for garnish

Method

Step 1:

Start by preheating your oven to 375°. Add a pot of water and put it on a high flame. Let the water bowl and add salt and cavatappi to it. Cook it until al dente and then drain it.

Step 2:

In another large saucepan, add butter and let it melt over medium heat. Next, sprinkle some all-purpose flour and sauté it until it turns brown. Then, add milk to this and keep whisking until you get a smooth consistency. Now, add salt, pepper, and nutmeg and simmer it down to form a slightly thick sauce.

Step 3:

Take the pan off the heat and start folding in all the cheeses. Remember, you only need to add ½ cup of parmesan here. Mix it until smooth, and then drop in your cavatappi and cooked lobster. Now that everything is mixed well, transfer it to a 9x13” baking dish.

Step 4:

In a separate bowl, add breadcrumbs, remaining parmesan, salt, pepper, and olive oil, and mix well. Next, spread it all over pasta and then bake this delicious meal for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
