4-cheese-lobster-mac-and-cheese-with-fried-garlic-and-chili-panko-topping

This is one of the best mac & cheese recipes I've ever tasted: 4-cheese lobster mac & cheese with chili-panko crunch. Let me break it down for you because this recipe is layered with flavor. It starts with my noodle of choice for mac & cheese, cavatappi noodles. Cavatappi means corkscrew in Italian & it's arguably the perfect shape for a creamy sauce. The twists in the noodles capture more sauce than your typical elbow. If you can't find cavatappi, feel free to substitute with cellantini or fusilli. The noodles will swim in a silky smooth 4-cheese sauce that is topped with a crispy chili oil-infused panko topping. While lobster is fairly delicate & typically doesn't pair well with intense flavors, this combo is out of this world. It's decadence at its finest & you will fall in love with it after your first bite.

Ingredients

1 lb cavatappi
1 lb cooked lobster, chopped into chunks (3 to 4 tails)
for the chili panko topping
