Ingredients
- 1 large cooked lobster
- 400g Pasta (Tortiglioni)
- 2 tbsp rapeseed oil
- 150g butter
- 2 thin leeks (cleaned and finely sliced)
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp plain flour
- 600g full fat milk
- 350g grated cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp chilli sauce
- 1 handful chopped dill

Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Dissect lobster, take all the meat from the body, claws and legs
Step 2
Chop all but the claw meat and keep chilled until needed (when serving)
Step 3
Fill large pan with cold water and bring to the boil, add the tortellini pasta and cook for 5-6mins. Drain the pasta and return to the pan
Step 4
Stir through the rapeseed oil to season the tortellini and avoid it sticking together
Step 5
Melt the butter in a medium pan and add the leeks and garlic, cook on low heat until it softens
Step 6
Stir in the flour to the pan and cook for at least 2mins

Step 9
