This recipe transforms a simple homemade dish like macaroni and cheese into a sophisticated delicacy. It's all thanks to the addition of real lobster meat, sautéed in brown butter, and a sauce made from four types of cheese: Parmesan, sharp cheddar, fontina, and goat cheese. This combination adds a richer, more complex flavor to the sauce. Combine the cooked macaroni and lobster meat in the cheese sauce, sprinkle with grated Parmesan, and toast in the oven until golden brown.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta for about 4 minutes (it should be quite firm). Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 32 cm) casserole dish. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter begins to brown, add the lobster meat and cook for 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter to the same skillet. Sprinkle with flour, stirring constantly. Cook the roux for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Pour in the milk and, whisking constantly, cook the white sauce until thickened, 3-5 minutes. Then add the cream, 1 teaspoon of salt, and plenty of black pepper; stir. Add the Parmesan (save some for the topping!), Cheddar, Fontina, and goat cheese and stir until all the cheese is melted. Add the lobster meat and pasta.
- Place the macaroni and cheese in the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake until lightly browned on top, 20-25 minutes.
