Lobster Mac and Cheese
Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients
3 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
8 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
2 small shallots, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp nutmeg
6 oz Gouda cheese, grated
6 oz aged white Cheddar, grated
6 oz aged Asiago cheese, grated
1 lb cavatappi pasta, cooked according to package instructions
1 1/2 lb cooked lobster meat cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup panko bread crumbs
Preparation
Over low heat, warm the milk and cream in a small saucepan, but don’t boil it.
Add 6 tbsp of the butter to a large pot over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, saute until translucent. Add the flour and cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring with a whisk. Whisk in hot milk and cream mixture and cook until thickened and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and add the salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cheese, stirring with a spoon. Add the cooked pasta and combined well. Once that is done, add the lobster and stir well being careful not to break up the lobster pieces. Place the mixture in a greased 13-by-9-inch casserole dish.
Melt the remaining 2 Tbsp of butter, combine with panko bread crumbs, and sprinkle on the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the macaroni is browned on the top.
Pour yourself a glass of wine, make a crisp chilled mixed greens salad and enjoy!
