1 quart Fish broth or chicken broth
1 ½ tsp. Tarragon
2 tbsp. Tomato paste

1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
2 tbsp. Butter melted
1 tbsp. Dried Parsley
Instructions
Cook pasta ahead of time to al-dente and set aside.
In a small bowl, add breadcrumbs, melted butter, and dried parsley. Mix well to combine and set aside.
Cheese Sauce Base
Melt a ½ stick of butter in a pot over medium heat.
Add shallots and garlic, stir, and allow to cook until “sweating” - about 2 minutes.
Add flour, mix well, and cook for 3-5 minutes without color to create a Roux.
Add fish broth, whisk well to combine, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Add tarragon, tomato paste, and heavy cream. Whisk together and keep over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes. Continue whisking to heat evenly.
Add Gruyere, Sharp Cheddar, and Fontina cheese. Whisk to combine. Add Parmesan cheese and whisk again.
Add tabasco and Worcestershire. Whisk. Season with fresh cracked black pepper. Turn down to low heat. Your cheese sauce base is complete.
Preparing Mac and Cheese
Pre-heat oven to 375°F.
Tear your lobster meat into bite sized pieces. Reserve natural juice from lobster and add to cheese sauce for additional flavor.
Add melted butter to lobster, season with black pepper and kosher salt, and mix.
In a large bowl, gradually add your cheese sauce to the cooked pasta until you reach a soupy consistency. You may not need to use all of the cheese sauce! Mix well.
Coat a large baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Fill baking dish with cheesy pasta, spreading evenly. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 15-20 minutes at 375°F.
Once you are ready to serve, generously top your baked mac and cheese with lobster meat. Then top that with your buttered breadcrumb mixture.
