Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons butter
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 pint heavy whipping cream
• 1 (16 ounce) package cavatappi (corkscrew pasta)
• 2 (8 ounce) packages shredded Swiss cheese, divided
• 2 (8 ounce) packages shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
• 12 ounces chopped cooked lobster meat
• ¼ cup lobster cooking liquid

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook cavatappi in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.

Step 3

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in flour until a paste forms, about 2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream slowly; cook until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1 package Swiss cheese and 1 package Cheddar cheese; stir until melted, about 2 minutes. Season sauce with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

Combine cooked pasta, sauce, lobster, and lobster cooking liquid in a large bowl. Stir in half of the remaining Swiss cheese and Cheddar cheese. Transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle remaining Swiss cheese and Cheddar cheese on top.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until cheeses are melted and bubbly, 20 to 30 minutes.
