Total Time: 40 Min

Ingredients

• 1 lb. cavatappi
• 1/4 c. butter
• 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 c. whole milk
• Pinch nutmeg (optional)
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 c. shredded white cheddar
• 1 c. shredded Fontina
• 3/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan, divided
• 1 lb. cooked lobster, roughly chopped
• 1/2 c. Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 c. freshly chopped parsley, for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook cavatappi until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Sprinkle over flour and cook until slightly golden, 2-3 minutes. Pour in milk and whisk until combined. Season with #nutmeg if using, salt, and pepper. Let simmer until thickened slightly, about 2 minutes.
3. Remove pan from heat and stir in cheddar, Fontina, and 1/2 cup Parmesan and whisk until smooth. Fold in pasta and lobster and transfer into a 9"-x-13" baking dish.
4. In a medium bowl, combine Panko, the remaining Parmesan, and oil. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle over pasta. Bake until bubbly and golden, 20-25 minutes.
