- 8 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 8 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 8 cup milk or heavy cream, warmed
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 cup lobster stock*
- 1 cup grated grana padano, plus more for the casserole
- 1 cup grated white cheddar, plus more for the casserole
- 1 cup grated yellow cheddar, plus more for the casserole
- 1 cup lobster meat
- 1 pound cooked macaroni
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then stir in the flour to make a paste. Once it bubbles, whisk in the milk or heavy cream until all the lumps are gone and it has a creamy texture. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes. Reduce slightly if necessary reach a creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Add in the grated cheeses about 1 cup at a time to make a cream sauce. Then, add in the lobster stock bit by bit, until you have a creamy lobster sauce. (You may want to use less than the full 4 cups depending on the thickness of your sauce.)
- Now fold in the lobster meat. Add the pasta last, fully folding in to combine. Fill a large casserole pan with the mixture, cover with additional cheese, and bake for 25 minutes.
