Preparation

1. Fill a large pot with salted water and set it over high heat to come to a boil. Plunge lobster into water and cover pot. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it is bright red. Check doneness by pulling an antenna; if it comes off without resistance, the lobster is done. Remove lobster to a bowl and allow to cool.
2. Meanwhile, heat oven to 375 degrees, with a rack in the upper third of the oven. Use a tablespoon of butter to butter a 9-by-13-inch-square baking pan.
3. In a blender, purée cottage cheese, milk, mustard, cayenne and nutmeg, and lightly season with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, add grated cheese and uncooked pasta and stir well to combine. Pour into prepared pan, cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, crack lobster claws and tail over the bowl and remove the meat, reserving all liquid that comes out of the lobster. Roughly chop lobster meat.
5. Uncover baking pan, gently stir in lobster meat and up to 2 tablespoons of the reserved lobster juices, and dot with remaining tablespoon of butter. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes more, until browned on top. Let cool for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

Lobster Mac and Cheese

Comfort food for the seafood lover; an easy recipe for creamy two cheese lobster macaroni and cheese.

This is another one of those recipes I’d been dreaming of making for quite some time. I’m pretty sure last year I planned on making it once or twice but it never happened and eventually I forgot about it. This year I had intended on making a lobster dish or two over the summer, but yeah… that didn’t happen. I got this particular idea stuck in my head again and couldn’t let it slide. It had to be made. I wanted to make it. So I had just had a baby…I didn’t care, it wouldn’t stop me. Making a pasta dish couldn’t possibly be that labor intensive. Plus, I had a special occasion I really wanted to make it for… our 7th wedding anniversary!

The Mr is a big fan of seafood and I’m not, so we never eat it at home. The least I could do is make something special for him on our special day. I wrote up my plan and made a list of what ingredients I needed to pick up… oh plus those needed for the special anniversary dessert which you’ll have to wait to see. I promise it’ll be worth the wait.

My biggest issue was figuring out what to do about the lobster meat. Do I buy a live lobster and cook it myself? Do I buy a lobster and have whoever I’m buying it from cook it for me? Do I even need a whole lobster? Would the tail be enough? Oh but what about just finding meat ready to go? And then what about where to get it… do I just go to the grocery store or do I find a fish market? You see… since I’m not a fan of seafood I clearly haven’t ever purchased lobster myself, forget the issue of preparing it! In the end I ventured into a local fish market, hoping for the best and hoping to not make a complete fool of myself. I was able to pick up lobster meat ready to go. That made my life SO much easier.

Since the only issue was the lobster, and in the end it wasn’t even an issue, the rest was a piece of cake! Seriously easy and from what I was told, definitely delicious. If you love lobster… and of course mac n cheese, then this is a must try. It could certainly be made and eaten any day, but sometimes a dish like this deserves a special occasion. Who says Tuesdays or any other day of the week aren’t special occasions though? ;) I’d be happy to help justify any day as a special occasion for you if you need to.
