My mom said this is the best lobster mac n cheese that she has ever tasted!
I got the recipe from my Food Network magazine (March 2013).
Lobster Mac N Cheese
8 oz pasta
4 tbsp butter
1/4 cup flour
2 cups whole milk, heated
1 bay leaf
pinch of nutmeg
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
12 oz cooked lobster
Cook pasta in salted boiling water.
Cook lobster and remove meat.
Melt butter in saucepan. Whisk in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Whisk in milk. Add bay leaf, nutmeg and 1 tsp salt. Cook, whisking occasionally, for 8 minutes until thickened. Remove bay leaf and stir in 3 1/2 cups cheese until melted. Add cooked pasta and enough of the pasta water to create a loose sauce. Add lobster.
Butter dish. Pour pasta into dish, top with 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and a few lobster pieces. Broil until melted and golden.
