Recipe Summary Gooey Lobster Mac And Cheese

Super cheesy and super gooey! A smooth creamy blend of Swiss and sharp Cheddar with the sweetness of lobster. Side dish for many, or a main course for about 10 people, give or take. A great guilty pleasure!

Ingredients | Bechamel Sauce Mac And Cheese

1 (16 ounce) package cavatappi (corkscrew pasta)

3 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 pint heavy whipping cream

2 (8 ounce) packages shredded Swiss cheese, divided

2 (8 ounce) packages shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

12 ounces chopped cooked lobster meat

¼ cup lobster cooking liquid

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook cavatappi in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in flour until a paste forms, about 2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream slowly; cook until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1 package Swiss cheese and 1 package Cheddar cheese; stir until melted, about 2 minutes. Season sauce with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

Combine cooked pasta, sauce, lobster, and lobster cooking liquid in a large bowl. Stir in half of the remaining Swiss cheese and Cheddar cheese. Transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle remaining Swiss cheese and Cheddar cheese on top.

Bake in the preheated oven until cheeses are melted and bubbly, 20 to 30 minutes.

I buy my lobster frozen in a 12-ounce package that is mostly claws but already shelled and ready to go.

Substitute elbow pasta for the cavatappi if desired.
