Lobster and Crab Mac and Cheese
This lobster and crab mac and cheese is the perfect way to finish a day. Two different havarti cheeses balance beautifully with the seafood.
Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- Vegetable oil
- 1 pound Cavatappi
- 1 quart Whole Milk
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 oz Castello Havarti Creamy grated
- 6 oz Castello Aged Havarti grated
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
- 1 lb Cooked Lobster meat
- 1 lb Cooked Crab meat
- 1 1/2 cups Panko Breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375*
- Lets bring a large pot with salted water to a boil then drizzle some olive oil to cook our pasta per the package directions. Drain after.
- While our water reaches a boil heat the milk separately. It does not have to be boiled just heated.
- In a large pot set to medium low heat we’ll melt 6 tablespoons of butter and slowly incorporate all of our flour. You’ll want to continuously stir with a whisk for this process.
- Next we will add our heated milk continuing to whisk. This will create a thick and smooth béchamel.
- Once you have acquired a silky consistency with the sauce remove from heat. Your sauce is ready to have the cheese immersed and blended in. Once you’ve accomplished that its time to add our spices and blend well to reach that perfect cheese sauce consistency.
- Now we can add our pasta, lobster and crab and stir. After it is stirred well place the mixture into a 13x9 pan.
- The last 2 tablespoons of butter should be melted and mixed with the breadcrumbs. This will be used to create a layer for the top of our seafood Mac.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, and enjoy!
