Step 1

Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat; whisk in flour until smooth. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until bubbling.

Spread 1/3 of cheese mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch glass baking dish.

Layer half of the penne, all of the cottage cheese, and half of the crab and lobster; follow with another 1/3 of the cheese mixture.
