COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
Lobster Mac and Cheese
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Strain water and set aside.
- Melt 1 Tbsp butter in microwave. Stir in breadcrumbs until well-combined. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water until well-combined to make a slurry. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Heat oil in large pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until lightly caramelized, about 5 mins.
- Add dry mustard, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Whisk in milk, then cornstarch slurry. Continue whisking until milk begins to lightly bubble and thicken. Whisking continuously, add pimento, 2 Tbsp butter, Dijon, and Worcestershire until well-combined, then add cheese slowly while still whisking.
- Once cheese is fully melted, stir in pasta until well-integrated. Set aside about 1/2 cup of lobster, then fold rest of lobster into mac and cheese. Transfer mac and cheese to a large, greased baking dish. Press reserved lobster pieces into top of mac and cheese. Top mac and cheese with breadcrumbs.
- Bake for 25-30 mins, or until breadcrumbs are golden brown. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
