Lobster Mac 'n Cheese image

A sinfully rich dish of exotic cheeses and lobster in a rich cream sauce with pasta and a baked panko bread crumb topping. I had a similar dish at The Capital Grille and devised this on my own.

Time 45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ (16 ounce) package bow tie pasta
2 tablespoons butter
2 shallots, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups heavy cream
6 ounces grated Grana Padano cheese, divided
4 ounces shredded Havarti cheese
4 ounces shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese
½ (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese
4 ounces shredded Gruyere cheese
½ teaspoon ground white pepper
1 pound lobster meat, chopped
½ cup panko bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute shallots and garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer shallot-garlic mixture to a double boiler. Add heavy cream, 1/2 of the Grana Padano, Havarti, Cheddar, mascarpone, and Gruyere cheeses. Stir until smooth, about 5 minutes. Season with white pepper. Stir in lobster meat. Drain pasta and mix into the sauce.
  • Pour pasta and sauce into a large baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining Grana Padano and panko on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bread crumbs are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
