This Lobster Mac & Cheese is the definition of decadent comfort food. Made with buttery lobster meat and an ultra-creamy three-cheese sauce, it's rich, savory, and perfect for special occasions or indulgent cravings. The combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan melted into heavy cream creates a luscious coating for every bite of pasta. Topped with extra Parmesan and loaded with tender lobster, it's a showstopper of a dish you’ll want to make again and again.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Lobster Poaching Perfection 🦞
    Gently poach the lobster meat in butter at a low temperature to ensure it remains tender and doesn't become rubbery or overcooked.
  • Cheese Sauce Smoothness 🧀
    Create a roux with butter and flour before adding heavy cream and cheeses to prevent grainy texture and ensure a silky-smooth cheese sauce.
  • Pasta Water Magic 💧
    Reserve 1 cup of starchy pasta water before draining to help bind the sauce and adjust consistency if needed, creating a more luxurious mac and cheese.
  • Layered Cheese Melting 🔪
    Grate cheeses separately and layer them incrementally while stirring to achieve maximum melting and prevent clumping.
  • Crispy Parmesan Topping 🔥
    Sprinkle extra Parmesan on top and broil for 2-3 minutes to create a golden, crispy crust that adds textural contrast to the creamy mac and cheese.
