I’ve been wanting to try this Barefoot Contessa Lobster Mac & Cheese recipe and finally got a hold of some lobsters yesterday. It came out delish! But next time, I think I would just use cheddar cheese, rather than the Gruyere. It was a little too strong for my liking. and sort of overpowers the flavor of the lobster, which, in my opinion, should be the center of this dish. None the less, you should definitely try it:)

Absolutely delicious! Made this for Mother’s Day and it was an all around hit. We steamed the lobster because the recipe didn’t specify and that turned out great. I would 100% recommend this recipe.
