Ingredients
2 Cups Macaroni (elbows or corkscrews)
5 Tbs Butter
5 Tbs Flour
1/2 Tsp Salt
1/4 Tsp Black Pepper
1 Small Yellow Onion, chopped
1 Clove Garlic, chopped
1 Shallot, chopped
2 Cups Milk
1 Cup Lobster Broth (see below)
1 1/2 Cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1/4 Cup Gruyere Cheese, shredded
1/4 Cup Pecorino Romano Cheese, shredded
1/4 Cup Panko Break Crumbs
2 Florida Lobster Tails
Preparation
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cook pasta according to package directions. Set aside.
Steam lobsters over boiling water for about 3 minutes until meat turns white rather than translucent. Remove meat from shell. Set aside to cool. Cut up meat into bite sized pieces.
Use water from steaming lobsters to make a lobster stock by adding lobster shells to the water and boiling for about 20 minutes. In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add salt, pepper, onion, shallot, and garlic and cook until translucent. Add flour and stir constantly until mixture has a creamy consistency. Slowly stir in milk and lobster broth.
Remove from heat. Mix in cheese until combined. Add pasta and lobster. Transfer to a baking dish. Sprinkle with panko. Put in oven on middle rack for 20 minutes.
Voila!
