There is a little bistro a couple streets away from where I work (Zambistro’s in Medina, NY) where every friday the Mac of the day is LOBSTER! And it is my weakness! It’s probably not nearly the same recipe but here is one I found a few days ago that sound delicious.
Lobster Mac and Cheese
You Will Need:
- 1 Lb. Corkscrew Pasta (Or whatever kind you fancy)
- 6 Tbsp. Butter, Melted
- 2 Large Garlic Cloves, Minced
- 1/2 Cup Red Onion, Finely Chopped
- 1/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour
- 3 Cups Whole Milk, Room Temp
- 1-1/2 Cups Shard Cheddar, Shredded
- 1-1/2 Cups Gruyere Cheese, Shredded
- 1 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard
- 1/2 Cup Fresh Chives, Finely Chopped
- 1/8 Tsp. Cayenne Pepper
- 1/2 Tsp. SAlt
- 1/2 Tsp. Freshly Ground Pepper
- 1 lb. Lobster Meat, Cooked and Coarsely Chopped
- 2 Cups Oyster Crackers, Crushed
Preparation:
Cook pasta until al dente according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again.
Place 4 Tbsp. melted butter in a saucepot over medium-low heat. Add garlic and onion; cook 5 minutes or until onion is softened. Whisk in flour; cook 1 minute. Pour in milk; bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 3 minutes or until sauce is smooth and thickened.
Remove from heat, and whisk in cheeses and next 3 ingredients. Stir in 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Fold in pasta and lobster. Pour into a greased 3-quart baking dish.
Combine crushed crackers and remaining 2 Tbsp. melted butter. Stir in remaining 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Sprinkle over casserole. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until crust is crisp and sauce bubbles. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
