Lobster Mac'n'Cheese topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 220 g of pasta
- 6 tbsp salted butter, plus extra for greasing the pan
- 2 boiled lobster tails, remove meat and cut into large pieces (2 cups)
- 1/4 cup premium flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups low-fat cream
- 1 tbsp. grated parmesan
- 3/4 cup grated sharp cheddar
- 3/4 cup grated fontina cheese
- 110 gr. goat cheese
Preparation:
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta for about 4 minutes (it should be quite firm). Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 32 cm) casserole dish. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter begins to brown, add the lobster meat and cook for 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter to the same skillet. Sprinkle with flour, stirring constantly. Cook the roux for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Pour in the milk and, whisking constantly, cook the white sauce until thickened, 3-5 minutes. Then add the cream, 1 teaspoon of salt, and plenty of black pepper; stir. Add the Parmesan (save some for the topping!), Cheddar, Fontina, and goat cheese and stir until all the cheese is melted. Add the lobster meat and pasta.
- Place the macaroni and cheese in the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake until lightly browned on top, 20-25 minutes.
