DIRECTIONS

Prepare pasta according to package directions; drain. Meanwhile, in medium saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Sauté garlic in butter 1 minute.

Whisk in flour; cook 1 minute, whisking constantly. Gradually add in warmed milk, whisking constantly until smooth. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and mixture comes to a boil.

Blend in cheeses (reserving ¼ cup shredded Parmesan) and ground red pepper; salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to low and continue stirring until cheese is melted.

Toss pasta with sauce; gently stir in lobster, bacon and tomatoes. Transfer to a greased baking dish. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Toss with bread crumbs and remaining Parmesan cheese; sprinkle over pasta.

Bake in a preheated 375°F oven 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top and bubbly.
