Recipe by: Suzanne Gwinn

"A sinfully rich dish of exotic cheeses and lobster in a rich cream sauce with pasta and a baked panko bread crumb topping. I had a similar dish at The Capital Grille and devised this on my own."

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute shallots and garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Transfer shallot-garlic mixture to a double boiler. Add heavy cream, 1/2 of the Grana Padano, Havarti, Cheddar, mascarpone, and Gruyere cheeses. Stir until smooth, about 5 minutes. Season with white pepper. Stir in lobster meat. Drain pasta and mix into the sauce.
Pour pasta and sauce into a large baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining Grana Padano and panko on top.
Bake in the preheated oven until bread crumbs are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
