Directions
Preheat an oven to 350°F. Butter a large baking dish.

Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente, trying not to overcook; drain.

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

Add the flour and cook, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes.

Whisk in the milk and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Add 1 1/2 cups of each cheese and stir until melted. Season with sea salt, black pepper and parika.

In a large bowl, combine the lobster meat, pasta and the cheese sauce, then pour into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining cheeses.
