Ooey-gooey cheesy goodness is what this Lobster Mac & Cheese recipe is made of! Delicious lobster pairs with pasta and five types of cheese to make this creamy dish.
I’ve got a bit of a weakness when I visit seafood restaurants: Lobster Mac & Cheese. To be honest, I love lobster in just about any form, but I’ve got a soft spot for this cheesy dish.
My husband and I usually like to cook a fancy dinner and dessert together at home for Valentine’s Day instead of trying to fight the crowds to get a dinner reservation. This recipe is great for a main dish or serve it as a side dish with steak!
What you Need to Make Lobster Macaroni and Cheese
Pasta: I used fuselli pasta. You can use whatever you have in the house or your favorite type of pasta!
Cheese: I use 5 types of cheese to bring amazing flavor and creaminess to this pasta dish: gruyére and Trader Joe’s Quattro Formaggio blend. If you don’t have a Trader Joe’s near you or can’t find that blend, it’s a combination of parmesan, asiago, fontina and mild provolone. If you can’t find the blend and don’t want to buy that many cheeses, I would recommend at least doing the gruyére, parmesan and provolone.
Lobster: Pre-cooked lobster meat works well for this recipe, or your can cook your own if you are feeling adventurous!
Lobster Mac and Cheese
Ooey-gooey cheesy goodness is what this dish is made of! Lobster pairs with pasta and 5 types of cheese for a decadent main or side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 lb pasta (I used fusilli)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 2 cups guyére cheese, shredded
- 2 cups of Trader Joe's Quattro Formaggio shredded cheese (if you can't find this, it's a blend of parmesan, asiago, fontina and mild provolone)
- 1 cup lobster meat
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease a 8x8 baking dish.
- Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package. Drain and set aside.
- Place the heavy cream and cream cheese in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. As soon as it begins to boil, lower the heat and whisk in all of the cheese, a little at a time. Whisk until combined (the cheese mixture will be thick).
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet on medium high. Cook the lobster and garlic together for a 2-3 minutes.
- Combine the pasta, cheese mixture and lobster in the baking dish. Mix well so that the pasta is completely coated with cheese.
- Sprinkle the panko over the mac and cheese. Bake for 30 minutes.
