Directions

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2:

Freshly shred all your cheeses – this is key for a cheesy and creamy baked mac.

Step 3:

Add your Maine Lobster tails in boiling water for about 7-10 min or until they turn a bright red color. Take them out and transfer to ice water bath so they don’t continue to cook and to cool down the shells.  

Step 4:

Cook your pasta in the same water as the lobster one minute shy of al dente (about 10 minutes) and set to the side.

Step 5:

While your pasta cooks, cut your lobster tail, take out the meat, cut into pieces and set aside.

Step 6:

On medium heat, melt butter in a saucepan. Add in your flour. Whisk in flour until the mixture thickens & your roux is made.

Step 7:

Gradually whisk in your seasonings, cream and milk slowly. Then gradually whisk in your cheeses (set a bit of cheese aside for the end) until sauce is thick and smooth.

Step 8:

Pour your sauce on your pasta noodles and add in your Maine Lobster meat. 

Step 9:

Cut a hole in the middle of your bread bowl and remove some of the bread to fit in your pasta.

Step 10:

Add the rest of your cheese on top and bake until cheese melts (about 5-10 minutes).

Step 11:

Enjoy!
