Lobster Mac and Cheese
After the first time I made this Publick House Mac and Cheese, I knew I’d be making it again soon. With lobster. As I mentioned, Hubby loves when The Publick House has this special on their menu and I wanted to recreate it for him.
I decided to get pre-cooked lobster meat instead of cooking the lobsters myself. I headed over to Wulf’s Fish Market where they did the hard work for me. I did have to wait for the lobster meat to be removed from the freshly cooked lobsters, so I ran other errands and came back for it. I got two lobsters worth of meat which came out to about 3/4 of a pound.
I mixed the lobster in to 1/3 of the mac and cheese that this recipe makes. I actually made a whole batch of the mac and cheese and used part of it for this Lobster Mac and Cheese and I mixed roasted vegetables into the rest of it.

Lobster Mac and Cheese
Lobster pairs perfectly with this subtle creamy mac and cheese
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients:
1/3 batch of mac and cheese
meat from 2 lobsters (~3/4 lb of meat)
Directions:
Make mac and cheese according to this recipe but do not bake it. Either only make 1/3 of the original recipe, or make the entire recipe and scoop out 1/3 of the mac and cheese.
Stir the cooked lobster meat in to the mac and cheese prior to baking at 350F for 20 minutes.
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Jen made the meatballs for our family. She made both regular spaghetti and spaghetti squash for the carb watchers in the family. I chose the spaghetti squash to go with the meatballs and it was delicious! My only dissapointment was there were none left over when I checked the fridge for lunch! I can’t wait to make these!!!

Let me know how they turn out for you. I’ve subbed bacon for the prosciutto in the meatballs in the past before. It makes a LOT so be ready for leftovers/
I use a 19 oz package of Johnsonville Italian sausage (hot) for the ground pork and prosciutto when i make these meatballs. The gelatin is a key ingredient (don’t omit).
I grew up in an Italian home and I gotta tell ya this is my go-to recipe for the best meatballs and spaghetti sauce.
Making it this weekend for my manicotti — looking forward to the compliments!

So glad you agree that this is a great recipe! The gelatin is definitely a key ingredient.
