- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions
Cook the Pasta
- Boil the macaroni in a large pot with salted water until soft but firm to bite.
Prepare the Lobster
- Chop the cooked lobster into small pieces so they mix evenly into your creamy pasta.
Melt the Butter
- Place a saucepan on medium heat and melt butter slowly without burning it at the bottom.
Add the Flour
- Whisk the flour into the melted butter until smooth, thick, and free from any visible lumps.
Pour the Milk
- Slowly add milk into the pan while whisking until the sauce looks creamy and silky.
Add the Cheese
- Mix in cheddar and gruyere cheese until melted and smooth with no solid chunks left.
Season the Sauce
- Add salt, pepper and paprika to give your cheese sauce warm flavor and gentle spice.
Add the Pasta
- Stir cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce until every piece is fully coated and creamy.
Add the Lobster
- Mix in the chopped lobster gently to avoid breaking the tender pieces while stirring.
Prepare the Topping
- Combine breadcrumbs with a little melted butter to create a crispy golden topping.
Bake the Dish
- Pour everything into a baking dish and top with breadcrumbs before baking until golden.
Serve Warm
- Remove from the oven and serve warm so the cheese stays creamy and smooth.
Notes
- Use fresh lobster for the best taste.
- Do not overcook the pasta.
- Add more cheese if you want extra creaminess.
- Use full-fat milk for a richer sauce.
- Add a little garlic for deeper flavor.
