Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Making the Cheese Sauce
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
- Add in the heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Gradually whisk in the cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan until melted and smooth.
Combining and Assembling
- Stir the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce until well combined.
- Gently fold in the lobster meat.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish.
- Top with panko breadcrumbs for an extra crunch.
Baking
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling.
Serving
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot, enjoying every creamy, cheesy bite.
Notes
For variations, consider using crab or shrimp instead of lobster. Don't overcook the pasta as it will continue to cook in the oven. You can mix herbs into the panko for added flavor.
