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.

Thanks! I hope you enjoyed the pasta.
I made this tonight and it was truly one of the worse things I’ve made; the sauce was really chunky and dry, and stuck in my throat every time I took a bite, and the garlic made it even drier. I would not recommend this to anyone.
This is very good. Leaving some of the pasta water is important, as well as adding the olive oil. Grating the beet into the pasta made a gorgeous colored magenta. Eating pasta right away prevents drying out. An optional addition could be adding a can of coconut milk to make a pink saucy dish. Topped with nuts and cheese, yes!
