Lobster Mac and Cheese RECIPE COURTESY OF INA GARTEN Level: Easy Total: 1 hr 25 min Prep: 15 min Cook: 1 hr 10 min Yield: 6 to 8 servings Ingredients Kosher salt Vegetable oil 1 pound cavatappi or elbow macaroni 1 quart milk 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, divided 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 12 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated (4 cups) 8 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar, grated (2 cups) 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1 1/2 pounds cooked lobster meat 1 1/2 cups fresh white bread crumbs (5 slices, crusts removed) Directions Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Drizzle oil into a large pot of boiling salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to the directions on the package, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain well. Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepan, but don't boil it. In a large pot, melt 6 tablespoons of butter and add the flour. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring with a whisk. Still whisking, add the hot milk and cook for a minute or two more, until thickened and smooth. Off the heat, add the Gruyere, Cheddar, 1 tablespoon salt, the pepper, and nutmeg. Add the cooked macaroni and lobster and stir well. Place the mixture in 6 to 8 individual gratin dishes. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, combine them with the fresh bread crumbs, and sprinkle on the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the macaroni is browned on the top. https://www.instagram.com/inagarten/ https://www.facebook.com/InaGarten/ https://twitter.com/inagarten Subscribe to our channel to fill up on the latest must-eat recipes, brilliant kitchen hacks and content from your favorite Food Network shows. ► FOOD NETWORK KITCHEN APP: http://foodtv.com/FNKApp ► WEBSITE: https://www.foodnetwork.com ► FULL EPISODES: https://watch.foodnetwork.com ► FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/FoodNetwork ► INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/FoodNetwork ► TWITTER: https://twitter.com/FoodNetwork #InaGarten #BarefootContessa #FoodNetwork #LobsterMacandCheese Creamy Lobster Mac & Cheese Recipe w/ Ina Garten | Barefoot Contessa: Cook Like a Pro | Food Network https://youtu.be/uLV6AzV53bY
