Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Gluten-free elbow macaroni
- 8 ounces Cooked lobster meat, chopped
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 4 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook the gluten-free elbow macaroni according to the package instructions in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the gluten-free flour, whisking constantly, and cook for about 1-2 minutes, until the mixture bubbles lightly and forms a roux.
Gradually whisk in whole milk and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in shredded cheddar cheese, Gruyere cheese, and Parmesan cheese until completely melted and smooth.
Season the cheese sauce with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Add the cooked lobster meat to the cheese sauce, stirring to distribute evenly.
Combine the cheese sauce with the cooked macaroni in a large mixing bowl, ensuring the pasta is well coated.
Transfer the macaroni mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix the gluten-free breadcrumbs with the chopped parsley and sprinkle evenly over the top of the mac and cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired.
