5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon butter, divided
3 tablespoons finely diced sweet onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/8 teaspoon chopped saffron threads
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
12 ounces uncooked lobster tail meat, cut into bite-size pieces
1 tablespoon sherry
1 teaspoon lemon zest
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small microwave-safe dish on HIGH for 30 seconds. Combine melted butter, panko, and chervil in a bowl; toss to coat. Sprinkle panko mixture over top of pasta mixture. Broil 2 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes.
