     12 oz Dried mini bow tie or penne
           - pasta
      6 sl Apple wood-smoked bacon
      3 c  Sliced fresh cremini
           - mushrooms
      2 md Leeks; sliced
      8 oz Cooked lobster meat; chopped
      8 oz Process Gruyere cheese; cut

  1 1/2 c  Half-and-half or light
           - cream
      1 c  Crumbled blue cheese
      1 tb Truffle-flavor oil
    1/2 ts Cayenne pepper
  1 1/2 c  Coarse soft bread crumbs
      1 tb Butter; melted
 
  Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
  
  Grease a 3-quart baking dish; set aside. Cook pasta
  according to package directions; drain. Return to pan.
  
  Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat
  until crisp. Drain bacon on paper towels, reserving 2
  tablespoons drippings in skillet. Crumble bacon; set
  aside. Add mushrooms and leeks to the reserved drippings;
  cook about 5 minutes or until tender.
  
  Stir crumbled bacon, mushroom mixture, lobster meat,
  Gruyere cheese, half-and-half, blue cheese, truffle oil,
  and cayenne pepper into cooked pasta. Transfer mixture to
  the prepared baking dish.
  
  Bake, covered, for 20 minutes. Stir gently. In a small
  bowl, combine bread crumbs and melted butter; sprinkle
  over pasta mixture. Bake, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes
  more or until mixture is heated through and crumbs are
  lightly browned. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
  
  Makes 6 to 8 servings.
  
  Test Kitchen Tip: For 8 ounces cooked lobster meat, start
  with two 8-ounce fresh or frozen lobster tails. Thaw
  lobster, if frozen. Preheat broiler. Butterfly the lobster
  tails by cutting through the center of the hard top shells
  and meat. Spread the tail halves apart. Place lobster
  tails, meat sides up, on the unheated rack of a broiler
  pan. Broil 4 inches from the heat for 12 to 14 minutes or
  until lobster meat is opaque. Remove meat from shells.
