Ingredients
– 1 pound elbow macaroni
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

5. Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the cheddar and gruyere cheeses until melted and smooth.
6. Stir in the cooked macaroni and lobster meat until well combined.
7. Transfer the mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish and top with the panko breadcrumbs.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
9. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For an extra crispy topping, broil the dish for 2-3 minutes after baking. You can also use a combination of different cheeses, such as parmesan or fontina, to customize the flavor.
