Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb elbow macaroni or cavatappi pasta
  • 2 cups cooked lobster meat (claw & tail, chopped)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups whole milk (warm)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 1/2 cup Gruyère cheese (optional for extra richness)
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (optional topping)
  • Soft Hawaiian rolls (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Boil & Prep the Pasta: Cook pasta al dente in salted water. Drain and toss with a splash of oil to keep it from sticking.
  2. Make the Creamy Cheese Sauce: Melt butter in a large skillet, whisk in flour, and stir constantly to make a roux. Slowly whisk in warm milk and cream until smooth, then simmer until thick and velvety.
  3. Cheese It Up: Stir in cheddar, mozzarella, and Gruyère until melted and creamy. Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add Lobster & Pasta: Fold in the lobster chunks and cooked pasta. Mix gently so every bite is coated in the cheesy sauce.
  5. Bake It to Golden Glory: Pour into a greased baking dish. Top with extra cheese, panko crumbs, and a drizzle of melted butter. Bake at 375°F for 20–25 minutes until golden and bubbly. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top and serve with soft rolls.

Notes

  • Use fresh lobster meat for best results.
  • Gruyère cheese adds extra richness but can be skipped.
  • Panko breadcrumbs add a crunchy topping.
