Ingredients:
- 1 lb elbow macaroni
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 lb cooked lobster meat, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
- Fresh parsley for garnish, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux, cooking for about 2 minutes until it becomes golden.
- Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens—about 5-7 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low, and add the cheddar and Parmesan cheeses, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
- Stir in the Dijon mustard, chopped lobster, paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. Combine the cheese sauce with the drained macaroni, ensuring that every piece is coated with that creamy goodness.
- Pour the mac and cheese mixture into a greased baking dish. If you like a crunchy topping, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
