Lobster and Brie Mac and Cheese

Not this past Tuesday, but the one before that I made Lobster and Brie Mac and Cheese. It was Diego's birthday, and he wanted something with seafood. This was a Tennessee Titans resipe... and very good!!! We loved it, and so did the kids. You just can't go wrong with Mac and Cheese!
This is what it calls for:
- 8 paper-thin slices country ham
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2 cups of heavy cream
- 4 cups cooked ditalini pasta, or any small macaroni
- salt and cracked black pepper
- 5 oz Brie, cut into small cubes
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 oz cooked lobster meat
- 2 Tbs minced fresh chives
- micro greens (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush the ham with oil and place them on a backing sheet in a single layer. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until crisp. Set aside.
In a large saute pan over high heat, bring the cream to a boil. Add the pasta and cook untill the cream is reduced and thickened slightly. Season with salt and cracked pepper to taste, then stir in the cheeses and lobster meat. Cook until cheeses are melted and the lobster is just warmed through, about 4 minutes. Serve immediately.

*Because the lobster was very expensive, I only bought half of what it calls for. So I doubled the ham. I would even say, you could do without the lobster, and it would taste great!
