Lobster Mac and Cheese

Step 1

Cook pasta al dente according to package instructions and drain.

Add butter to skillet, as soon as butter melts whisk in flour. Continue whisking until flour is fully mixed with butter, then cook for about a minute to get rid of the flour taste.

Step 7

Then add the pasta and lobster to the pot, stir to evenly incorporate. Spread some lobster at the top.

Step 8

Transfer the pasta mixture into a lightly greased 2-qt. baking dish; top with remaining cheese.
