Lobster And Pesto Cream Pasta Recipe 45 Food

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.

LOBSTER AND PESTO CREAM PASTA RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• To cook lobster, cook in lightly-salted boiling water for 7 minutes. Do not over-cook, or lobster will be tough. When cool, remove and split the tail, remove the claws and set aside. Discard remaining lobster. In a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and diced tomato and cook for one minute. Add pesto and cook an additional 30 seconds. Add the heavy cream and stir until mixture is reduced by 1/3. Add the hot angel hair pasta and toss together to coat pasta. Serve pasta topped with claws and tail. Garnish with lemon slices and chopped basil. This recipe yields ?? servings.

CREAMY LOBSTER AND CORN PAPPARDELLE

Steps:

• Fill a bowl with ice and water. Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil. Place the lobster, head first, into the water. Boil until the lobster is bright red, about 12 minutes. Plunge the lobster into the ice water to stop cooking. Remove the lobster meat from the claws and tail. Coarsely chop into bite-size pieces, and set aside.
• Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package directions. Drain, set aside and keep warm.
• While the pasta cooks, make the sauce. Melt the butter in the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn and cook until it begins to brown, about 7 minutes. Add the shallot, celery, and garlic and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, 2 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and cook until the sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cheese, chives, and tarragon and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the pasta and lobster and toss well to coat. Divide the pasta between serving bowls and garnish with additional tarragon and chives, if desired.

PESTO CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat heavy whipping cream and water in a small, heavy saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
• Add butter, pesto sauce, garlic powder and salt. Reduce heat and continue to cook about 5 more minutes over low heat.
• Stir in 1/2 cup parmesan cheese until melted.

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.
