  • 1 lb Larry’s Catch Chowder Mix
  • 12 oz macaroni (or cavatappi)
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups milk (2% or whole)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar, grated
  • 1 cup mozzarella, grated
  • 1/3 cup parmesan, grated
  • Salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted (for topping)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook macaroni until just al dente (about 1 minute less than package instructions). Drain and set aside.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, gently cook the Larry’s Catch Chowder Mix with a small splash of water or milk for 3–5 minutes until just cooked through. Remove from heat.
  • In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
  • Slowly whisk in milk and heavy cream until smooth. Simmer 3–4 minutes until thickened.
  • Stir in Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika (optional), salt, and pepper.
  • Reduce heat to low and add cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan, stirring until melted and smooth.
  • Fold cooked pasta and chowder mix into the cheese sauce until evenly coated.
  • Transfer mixture to a buttered baking dish.
  • Mix panko breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle evenly over the top.
  • Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes until bubbling and golden.
  • Let rest for 5 minutes, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve.
