Mac & Cheese, Elevated

Elevated and indulgent, lobster mac and cheese is a crowd favorite for any occasion.

  • 2 cooked Lobsterboys Deuce (2 lb) lobsters
  • Reserved lobster shells, optional
  • 1 lb pasta noodles (macaroni or rigatoni)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1–2 teaspoons red chilli flakes
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • ½ cup lobster or seafood stock
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Lemon wedges, for serving
  • Grated Parmesan, optional

1.Cook the Lobster

Cook the lobster until just done — tender and still slightly firm. Remove the meat from the shells, cut into bite-size pieces and set aside.

2.Cook the Pasta

Cook the macaroni in generously salted water until just al dente. Drain and set aside.

3.Make the Cheese Sauce

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook for 3–5 minutes, until smooth and slightly thickened.

4.Add the Cheese

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheese a little at a time until melted and creamy. Season with salt, pepper and a touch of Dijon or cayenne, if desired.

5.Fold in the Pasta and Lobster

Stir the pasta into the cheese sauce until well coated. Gently fold in the lobster, reserving a few pieces for the top.

6.Top and Bake

Transfer to a buttered baking dish. Top with breadcrumbs, a little extra cheese and the reserved lobster. Bake at 375°F for 12–15 minutes, until hot and bubbling around the edges. For extra color, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching closely.

Lobsterboys TipLobsterboys Tip:

Keep the bake short. The lobster is already cooked, so you want to heat everything through and brown the top without overcooking the meat.

Healthy and lighter than you'd expect, Lobster Mac and Cheese feels like a splurge, but it's a superfood made simply indulgent.

Our lobsters are pulled from cold Atlantic waters—not farmed, not soft-shell. Cold water means cleaner, firmer meat that holds up better in storage and reheating.
