Lobster Mac and Cheese
After the first time I made this Publick House Mac and Cheese, I knew I’d be making it again soon. With lobster. As I mentioned, Hubby loves when The Publick House has this special on their menu and I wanted to recreate it for him.
I decided to get pre-cooked lobster meat instead of cooking the lobsters myself. I headed over to Wulf’s Fish Market where they did the hard work for me. I did have to wait for the lobster meat to be removed from the freshly cooked lobsters, so I ran other errands and came back for it. I got two lobsters worth of meat which came out to about 3/4 of a pound.
I mixed the lobster in to 1/3 of the mac and cheese that this recipe makes. I actually made a whole batch of the mac and cheese and used part of it for this Lobster Mac and Cheese and I mixed roasted vegetables into the rest of it.

Lobster Mac and Cheese
Lobster pairs perfectly with this subtle creamy mac and cheese
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients:
1/3 batch of mac and cheese
meat from 2 lobsters (~3/4 lb of meat)
Directions:
Make mac and cheese according to this recipe but do not bake it. Either only make 1/3 of the original recipe, or make the entire recipe and scoop out 1/3 of the mac and cheese.
Stir the cooked lobster meat in to the mac and cheese prior to baking at 350F for 20 minutes.

I have been loving Butternut Squash more than ever this season, myself! Your pictures are lovely, and making me hungry!
I LOVE butternut squash… especially when roasted until slightly crisp on the outside. Your caramelized version looks great – I will need to add a touch of brown sugar and butter next time I make it.
YUM!!! I started my butternut squash kick this weekend- this looks amazing!
I have a butternut squash from my CSA that I’m dying to cut into. I have a question though, how does one peel a butternut squash?
Melissa – I like to use a Y-shaped vegetable peeler to peel the skin off. You could do it with a knife, but I would be worried about cutting myself.
Sounds like a fabulous way to prepare those squash. I’ll have to remember this for if we have another bumper crop next year!
Hi Jen, nice seeing you again yesterday. I usually roast my butternut squash with brown sugar too but I can’t believe I never thought of adding butter! I usually omit the salt and pepper because I like it very dessert-like, so I add cinnamon too 🙂
what a great blog!
here is so many inspirations,
have a nice time,

I love butternut squash too. It’s definitely delicious with just a bit of brown sugar. Sometimes I go a bit overboard and roast it with a whole lot of butter, brown, sugar, and maple syrup.
This looks amazing! I love bn squash. I just made a fantastic soup, and now I want to carmelize it!
This is such a simple way to cook butternut squash and yet SO delicious! I’m loving your butternut squash blog posts!
