Recipe please... Here or PM.

There's no real recipe to it, I was kind of just going as I went but I can tell you guys what I did. I've made it a few times since but haven't bothered to write it down.

We had some lobster left over from the night before, so I ended up throwing that and some shrimp into a bowl. I didn't cook the lobster so I can't help with that. I just took the meat from the claws and body that we had left over. There was a pretty good amount of it.

I cooked the whole grain penne pasta.

For the sauce, I started with a base of butter and cream to get the sauce nice and rich (never said this was healthy!). You wanna let the butter and cream mix together, but keep stirring it on a lowlowlowlow heat so that it doesn't boil or stick. Just keep stirring and sloshing it around until it becomes one. Then I threw the cheeses in and let them melt (KEEP STIRRING THEM ON A LOW HEAT). This recipe won't work if you try and rush it and use high heat, I don't think. You want to make a lot of it because it needs to completely cover the pasta.

So, while this was going on, I took a small pan and chopped up some sun dried tomatoes into 1/4ths. Threw them in a pan with some boiling oil just to let them brown up a bit and get a little crispier. There might have been some red pepper in there too but I don't remember.

Once the sun-drieds were done, I threw them in with the cheese sauce and let the flavors mix for just a few minutes while the pasta finished cooking.

Once it was all ready, I drained the pasta and threw it into one bowl (as shown in picture) and then I poured the cheese sauce on top of it until there was a good pasta:sauce ratio. Pretty much, you want your sauce to be floating just over the highest peak of the pasta because when it cooks down it'll cling to it.

I threw some bread crumbs on top just for good measure, set my oven to 350 and I can't remember how long it cooked for. Not that long though. I just kept checking it every 10-15 minutes.

As for what cheeses I used, Gruyere (which is Swiss, not French, my mistake) , Roquefort, two french Cheddars (yellow, 5yo, and white, 10yo), Comte and a small amount of Bleu de Chevre.

Hope someone tries this, let me know how it goes. Cheers.
