For four servings, gather the ingredients listed below and preheat your oven to 350°F.

Butter a casserole dish (or individual ramekins, if preferred). Cook macaroni according to package instructions. In the meantime, melt Cabot Salted Butter in a skillet. Add the shallots and cook until softened and translucent and set aside.

Combine the milk and lobster base in a large saucepan and heat to 190°F. Remove from heat and add chopped Cabot American Cheese, stirring until blended. Then stir in the grated Cabot Sharp Cheddar, grated Cabot Swiss Cheese, Gouda cheese, and Parmesan cheese, along with the shallots. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.

Blend the softened butter and flour in a small bowl and whisk together into a warm cheese sauce. Return to low heat and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in macaroni and lobster and pour into casserole dish (or individual ramekins). Top with breadcrumbs and drizzle with truffle oil, if desired. Bake until heated through and just slightly browned on top.
