Ingredients

• 16 oz spiral pasta
• 1 lb lobster meat, cooked and coarsely chopped
• 6 tbsp. butter, unsalted
• 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cups milk
• 2 cups plain breadcrumbs
• 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 1/2 cups gruyere cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup fresh chives, minced
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
• 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper
• 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 3-quart baking dish and set aside.
• Add pasta to boiling water and cook until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water, set aside.
• Melt 4 tbsp. butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cook until onions are softened. Add white wine and cook for an additional minute, reducing the wine by about half.
• Slowly add flour, whisking until it formed a thick paste (about 1 minute).
• Add milk and slowly bring to a boil while whisking. Reduce heat and simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until sauce thickens.
• Add cheddar, gruyere and parmesan, stirring all ingredients together until cheese melts. Remove from heat.
• Stir in Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, nutmeg, cayenne, and chives and mix well.
• Fold in lobster meat and pasta. Pour into baking dish.
• In a small pot, melt remaining 2 tbsp. butter. Remove from heat, add breadcrumbs and mix well. Spread breadcrumbs on top of mac and cheese evenly.
• Bake mac and cheese (uncovered) for 30-40 minutes, or until top is golden brown and sauce is bubbling. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
