Hello everyone and welcome back to my kitchen!Β With Valentineβs Day just around the corner,Β Β I wanted to share a special pasta recipeΒ thatβs great not only for this holiday,Β Β but year-round for any special occasion. We areΒ going to making a creamy and cheesy Lobster MacΒ Β
And Cheese. And this pasta recipe takes macΒ and cheese to a whole another level! ItβsΒ Β made with a four-cheese cheese sauce, toppedΒ with panko breadcrumbs, and butter poachedΒ Β lobster tails. This elevated mac and cheeseΒ is the ultimate creamy, cheesy comfort foodΒ Β
Dish! Weβre going to start by making the butterΒ poached lobster tails with some shallots, garlic,Β Β and parsley. And then for that cheese sauce,Β we have four types of cheese. I also like toΒ Β add in a little bit of smoked gouda and smokedΒ paprika for just a light hint of smokiness,Β Β
And it goes so well with those lobster tails!Β Weβll combine everything together β the pasta,Β Β the cheese, the lobster β sprinkle on some pankoΒ breadcrumbs and then into the oven just untilΒ Β those crumbs are nice and crispy on the top.Β Weβll add some more lobster on top! You are inΒ Β
For a real treat with with this incredibleΒ recipe! This is like the ultimate foodieΒ Β recipe! Donβt forget to head on down into thatΒ video description box for the recipe link. IβmΒ Β going to have all the details up on my website,Β including metric measurements. And now, letβs makeΒ Β
The best lobster mac and cheese! The first thingΒ youβll want to do when you get into your kitchen,Β Β is start heating a large pot of salted water. YouΒ want to bring that up to a boil for the pasta, andΒ Β
Weβll need one pound of pasta. I found this reallyΒ cute pipe pasta at Whole Foods; you can alsoΒ Β use elbow macaroni or any kind of medium-sizedΒ pasta. I have my pot going on the back burner,Β Β
And now we could get to our lobster. So, you canΒ use anywhere from 6 to 8 to 10 lobster tail tailsΒ Β and that just all depends on your budget becauseΒ lobster tails can be a little bit pricey! And weΒ Β
Want to take the meat out of the shells first.Β We want to go from inside the lobster tail toΒ Β a whole lobster tail piece. For this, youβll wantΒ to turn the tail over, grab some kitchen shears,Β Β
And you want to cut along right along theΒ edge here to free this this top hard part. Peel this back. Then you can just break the shell around the tail,Β Β slide your thumb underneath toΒ kind of loosen it from the shell, and look at this gorgeous lobster tail! And then I rinse the lobster tails in waterΒ and then pat them dry with paper towels. Iβm going to keep half of my lobsterΒ tails whole; weβre going to add thoseΒ Β to the top. And the other half IβmΒ going to cut into large chop chunks.
And now for butter poaching the lobster, IβmΒ heating a large frying pan over medium heat;Β Β you want to make sure the pan is not too hot.Β Weβre going to add in about 3 tablespoons ofΒ Β butter, and I love to use salted butter because itΒ adds so much great flavor! Let that butter melt.Β Β
To the melted butter, add in one finely dicedΒ shallot; three finely minced garlic cloves;Β Β sprinkle a little bit of parsley; a touch of seaΒ salt; little ground black pepper. Stir and cookΒ Β for about a minute until the garlic and shallotsΒ are softened. Going to add a little extra butter.
And then drop in the lobster. Cook the lobster for about 5 to 6 minutes,Β Β just until itβs no longer translucent.Β You donβt want to overcook the lobster! Transfer the cooked lobster into a separateΒ bowl, and weβre going to set it aside for now.Β Β
Make sure to save this incredible garlicΒ and shallot butter; weβre going to add itΒ Β back into the recipe later. And now we can getΒ started on our cheese sauce! This cheese sauceΒ Β is everything! Itβs so creamy, so cheesy, and IΒ love that we use four different types of cheese,Β Β
Because why not?! You got to have all theΒ cheese! All right, start with a sautΓ© pan,Β Β and into the sautΓ© pan β you want this overΒ medium, kind of medium low heat β weβre goingΒ Β to add in 1/4 cup of salted butter. Make sureΒ that butter gets completely melted. Weβre goingΒ Β
To start by making a roux. A roux is simply aΒ combination of butter and flour and it reallyΒ Β helps thicken the sauce. Into the melted butter,Β add in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour. Weβll whiskΒ Β this together and then cook for about 4 toΒ 5 minutes allowing that flour to get cooked.
Next, we can gradually startΒ adding in our half-and-half;Β Β weβll need 2 and 1/4 cups of half-and-half. IΒ like to add about half a cup at a time and giveΒ Β it a really good whisk after each addition,Β allowing the mixture to cook and thicken.Β Β
Make sure youβre whisking vigorouslyΒ to ensure you donβt have any clumps. Pour in the last of that half-and-half, and nowΒ we can start to season. Iβm going to add in aboutΒ Β a teaspoon and a half of sea salt; 1 teaspoonΒ of dried garlic; 1 teaspoon of ground mustard;Β Β
1 teaspoon of smoked paprika; and 1 teaspoonΒ of dried onion. Whisk that all together. AndΒ Β now weβre ready for our cheeses! So, I like toΒ buy blocks of cheese and then grate all my ownΒ Β cheese. So, we have 8 ounces of aged whiteΒ cheddar cheese; you can also use the orangeΒ Β
Variety. We have 6 ounces of grated gruyereΒ cheese. This swiss cheese is really delicious;Β Β it also melts really well and itβs perfect forΒ mac and cheese. 1 cup of Parmesan cheese. AndΒ Β we need 4 ounces of smoked gouda cheese. IΒ just love having a little bit of smokinessΒ Β
In this pasta! If you donβt want the smokyΒ aspect, you could skip the smoked paprikaΒ Β and use like a regular gouda cheese instead.Β Letβs drop in all this incredible cheese! Mix it in with a spatula first to getΒ combined with the cream sauce. Cook thisΒ Β
Cheese sauce over medium-low heat for aboutΒ 8 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly untilΒ Β that cheese is completely melted. You shouldΒ have a really smooth and uniform cheese sauce. Once our cheese is nicely melted, Iβm going toΒ add in the shallot and garlic mixture that weΒ Β
Cooked our lobster tails in. This is goingΒ to add an incredible seafood flavor to theΒ Β pasta! Grab your whisk and mix that in. I alsoΒ like to add some more parsley at this point. Add in your cooked, drained pasta next. And then add in that cookedΒ lobster. I like to save theΒ Β
Tail pieces for garnishing the top.Β And then just mix this all together! And then weβll transfer our macΒ and cheese into a nice casseroleΒ Β dish. Technically you could just bakeΒ the mac and cheese in the sautΓ© pan,Β Β
But I like to have a beautiful presentationΒ and a nice little white casserole is going toΒ Β look great with this pasta. And last we needΒ a panko breadcrumb topping. I have half a cupΒ Β of panko breadcrumbs. Weβre going to addΒ in a couple tablespoons of melted butter;Β Β
Add in about 1/4 teaspoon of dried garlic; aΒ touch of parsley. And mix that all together. Sprinkle the mac and cheese with anΒ even layer of breadcrumbs on top. And our lobster mac and cheese is readyΒ for the oven! I have mine preheated toΒ Β
425Β° Fahrenheit. Weβre going toΒ bake for about 15 to 20 minutes,Β Β just until the breadcrumbs on the topΒ become a nice golden brown color. YouΒ Β can also use the broiler setting on lowΒ for this step. And I love all that bubbly,Β Β
Hot cheese on the sides! Once you take the macΒ and cheese out of the oven, just top it with someΒ Β chopped chives to garnish. You can add some moreΒ lobster pieces on the top to garnish the dish. Along with a nice lobster tail!
Letβs get ourselves some of this incredibleΒ mac and cheese! And check out how saucyΒ Β that is! Isnβt that incredible?! ItβsΒ such a creamy, creamy, cheesy sauce! And thatβs it for my lobster mac and cheeseΒ recipe! Donβt forget to head on down into thatΒ Β
Video description box for the recipe link. IΒ always have all the details up on my websiteΒ Β including, metric measurements. Meanwhile,Β letβs dig in to enjoy this incredible pasta!Β Β I recommend eating it right away, as soonΒ as it comes out the oven. Let it cool downΒ Β
For like 5 minutes and then dig in to enjoy.Β The sauce is going to be the creamiest andΒ Β the cheesiest as as soon as the dish is done,Β and then once it stands, it kind of thickens,Β Β
Itβs not quite the same. I mean, itβs stillΒ good, itβs just not the same texture. All right,Β Β letβs dig in! The sauce is insanelyΒ creamy and cheesy! I love the texture! Mmm! Just wow! I donβt think words areΒ enough to describe how delicious this macΒ Β
And cheese is! The sauce is so creamy,Β savory, cheesy! I love that really veryΒ Β light hint of the smokiness coming through.Β Letβs grab a chunk of lobster to go with it. This is food heaven for foodie right here! IΒ wish I could eat this every single day! ThatΒ Β
Bite right there with that juicy, buttery LobsterΒ combined with the cheesy pasta is unbeatable! IΒ Β wish I could have this every day! Mmm! If you needΒ a special dish for a special occasion or holiday,Β Β
Or just because you want some really good mac andΒ cheese, this is the recipe for you! It is beyondΒ Β amazing! Thank you so much for watching my latestΒ episode. I hope you enjoyed this incredible,Β Β delicious, phenomenal dish at home, andΒ Iβll see you next time with a new recipe!

Oh yum!!!! This looks so amazing!!!! And I love you top too!!!
Looks delicious! Never thought of that, thanks for the recipe Tatyana π
I hereby declare this recipe illegal , it's too good.
Since I have allergies, I will still make this dish without the lobster. Looks delicious.π
Oh Tatyana ! The smile on your face the whole way through the video-but particularly at the end-said it all! Wow! There is just such a working together of all your ingredients-the cheeses, the seasoned crumbs, the shallots and garlic in butter you finished the lobster with and then added at the end-and I really appreciated the way you did the tutorial on de-shelling the lobster tail. One of your best dishes, Tatyana! I can't wait to serve it to our family. Actually, it would be great for Valentine's Day! Thank you so much!πππ
Good Day Chef πΊπ¦π§βπ³. MMM MMM MMM.! The only thing wrong with this dish is that I don't have any. Excellent choice of pasta too. The size and open ends hold a good amount of sauce. Nice to see you use real π¦. I've had to serve the fake stuff at a few places I worked. Here's a tip for your subscribers, if you see Lobster π¦ M-n-C for under $15 it's either fake π¦ or the portion is a cup. I always hated cheating the customers. You certainly didn't cut any corners. Have a Blessed and Beautiful Valentine's Day πΊπΈβοΈπΊπ¦πβοΈπππ₯π
There goes my diet β but worth it! Thanks for another great recipe and upbeat video!
