This lobster casserole takes advantage of Trader Joe's convenient frozen langostino tails and ready-made lobster bisque. It is a delicious, creamy, cheesy rich penne pasta casserole, absolutely fantastic and pretty easy to put together.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound penne pasta
  • 1 , 8 ounce
  • 1 , 16 ounce
  • 1 , 12 ounce
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 0.25 cups butter
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.

  2. 2

    Drain penne and return pasta to the pot; place over medium-high heat, and stir in cream cheese and bisque. Season with salt and pepper, and continue to stir until well combined. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Add butter to a 9x13 baking dish and place into the oven while it preheats until butter is melted.

  4. 4

    Remove baking dish from the oven; add langostino tails and garlic. Toss until garlic is fragrant and golden brown.

  5. 5

    Add penne mixture and tomatoes to the baking dish and carefully toss all the ingredients until combined. Top with cheese.

  6. 6

    Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbly, 10 to 15 minutes.

  7. 7

    Garnish with a squeeze of lemon juice, a sprinkling of Parmesan and fresh parsley.
