Description
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Remove baking dish from the oven; add langostino tails and garlic. Toss until garlic is fragrant and golden brown.
-
Add penne mixture and tomatoes to the baking dish and carefully toss all the ingredients until combined. Top with cheese.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbly, 10 to 15 minutes.

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