LOBSTER PASTA

Steps:

• In a large pot bring water to a boil.
• Add spaghetti and cook 9 minutes, until al dente.
• Separate the lobster tail and cut in half lengthwise, then into slices crosswise.
• Crack the claws and take out the meat.
• Add butter, garlic, and olive oil to a large microwave safe bowl and cook for 2 minutes until garlic softens.

LOBSTER PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the lobster and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until bright red.
• As soon as the lobster starts cooking, melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and 3 cloves of garlic. Cook and stir just to release the liquid. Do not let them brown.
• When the lobster comes out of the pot, place it on a cutting board and use a big knife to cut it in half lengthwise. Place the halves meaty side down into the skillet with the onion and garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes.
• Bring another pot of water to a boil and season with a little salt. Add the spaghetti and cook for 8 minutes, or until tender. If you want to save time and a pot, you could boil the pasta in the lobster water since it is already boiling, just add salt.
• Add the tomatoes to the skillet and turn the heat up to high to bring to a boil. Add the olive oil, salt, pepper and cinnamon. Cook, stirring constantly for 5 to 7 minutes. Slowly pour in the cream, stirring constantly. The sauce will become a nice pink color. Turn the heat down to medium-low. Keep warm, stirring occasionally until the pasta is done.
• Drain the spaghetti and place on a large serving plate. Stir in the remaining butter and garlic. Pour the tomato sauce over the spaghetti and arrange the two lobster halves in the center. Sprinkle all over with parsley and serve.

SPICY LOBSTER PASTA

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chile flakes, garlic, Fresno chile and onions and cook until the onions are tender and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the white wine and bring to a low simmer. Stir in the tomatoes, salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until reduced slightly, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta and keep warm.
• Add the lobster tails to the sauce, cover and cook for about 5 minutes (they will not be cooked through at this point). Remove the lobster to a cutting board and carefully use a knife to split open the tails on the backside. Remove the meat and coarsely chop.
• Add the lobster meat back to the sauce along with a few tablespoons of the pasta water and the spaghetti. Toss to coat, adding more pasta water if the sauce is too dry. Toss in the parsley and mint. Drizzle with a good-quality extra-virgin olive oil, if desired. Serve immediately.

CREAMY LOBSTER LINGUINE

Steps:

• Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and bacon and cook until the bacon is beginning to crisp, 8 minutes. Add the shallots, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for an additional 3 minutes, until fragrant. Add the salt, tomato puree and cream; stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine for 1 minute less than the package instructions, about 10 minutes. Using tongs, remove the pasta from the water and add it directly to the pan with the sauce. Sprinkle the cheese directly on the naked pasta and toss to coat in sauce. Add up to 1 cup of the pasta water to loosen the sauce as needed. Stir in the arugula, basil, tarragon, peas and lobster meat; simmer until everything is heated through, 1 minute. Serve with additional Parmesan if desired.

SPICY LOBSTER PASTA

Steps:

• Cook spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid (the secret to silky sauce).
• Meanwhile, heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shallot and red pepper flakes, stirring often, until shallot is softened, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring often, until tomatoes are soft and juicy, 5-8 minutes.
• Add lobster meat to skillet and toss to coat. Add pasta and 1/2 cup reserved pasta cooking liquid; season with salt and pepper.
• Cook, tossing constantly and adding more reserved pasta cooking liquid as needed, until sauce thickens and coats pasta, about 2 minutes.
• Serve pasta topped with lemon zest, with lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over.

AMAZING SEAFOOD PASTA WITH LOBSTER

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain, add 1 tablespoon butter, and stir. Set aside and keep warm.
• Melt remaining butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until softened, about 1 minutes. Add cream and wine and bring to a boil. Add cayenne pepper, saffron, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to a low simmer for 10 minutes; sauce will not thicken.
• Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook until opaque, 3 to 5 minutes. Add lobster and crab and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes more. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
• Add seafood combination to the pot with the sauce and stir. Add lemon juice and simmer over low heat 10 minutes more.
• Serve cooked pasta in individual bowls with 2 ladles of sauce on top. Fold sauce gently into pasta and top with a dash of black pepper.

LOBSTER PASTA WITH YELLOW TOMATOES AND BASIL

Steps:

• If using whole lobsters, cook them in abundant boiling water for 6 minutes. Cool, remove meat from tail, claws and knuckles, and chop into 1/2-inch chunks.
• Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil and cook pasta.
• Meanwhile, pour olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and cook for 1 minute, without browning. Add garlic and red pepper and cook for 1 minute. Add tomatoes and season generously with salt and pepper. Add lobster meat, stir to coat, cook 1 minute, then turn off heat until pasta is ready.
• When pasta is al dente, drain, add to skillet, and season with salt and pepper. Toss well and transfer to a warmed wide bowl or platter. Add basil, toss once more and serve immediately.

LOBSTER PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the pasta per package directions for al dente.
• Drain in a colander and rinse briefly under cold running water; shake colander gently to drain; set aside.
• To make the dressing: in a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, salt, and pepper together; whisk in the vinegar; set aside.
• Place the drained pasta in a large bowl; add in the lobster, celery, green onions, and tarragon; toss gently to mix.
• Pour the dressing over the mixture; toss gently but thoroughly to mix.
• Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
• If you refrigerate the salad for 8 hours or more, you may want to add a small amount of mayonnaise as the pasta will absorb the dressing over a long period of time.
• Serve chilled.
