This Lobster Mac & Cheese is ultra creamy and packed with luxurious flavor. Succulent lobster is sautéed in butter and garlic, then folded into a rich sauce made from heavy cream and four kinds of cheese—cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, and velveeta. Tossed with tender pasta and topped with even more cheese, this decadent comfort food is perfect for special occasions or when you're just feeling fancy and hungry.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Lobster Butter Infusion 🦞
    Sauté lobster meat in garlic-infused butter to maximize flavor depth before adding to the mac and cheese.
  • Cheese Melting Technique 🧀
    Grate cheeses at room temperature and add them gradually, stirring constantly to create a smooth, silky sauce without clumping.
  • Pasta Water Magic 💧
    Reserve 1 cup of starchy pasta water before draining to help create a more creamy and emulsified cheese sauce if needed.
  • Layered Cheese Complexity 🌟
    Use Velveeta as a base for creaminess, then layer sharp cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan for a multi-dimensional cheese flavor profile.
  • Crispy Cheese Topping Trick 🔥
    Finish the dish under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to create a golden, crispy cheese crust that adds textural contrast.
