👨‍🍳 Instructions

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.

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

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.

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.
