FETTUCCINE WITH LOBSTER AND ZUCCHINI



Fettuccine With Lobster and Zucchini image

Feta cheese gives a briny edge to this quick pasta dish, with fresh zucchini, tomatoes, herbs and lobster. Add the lobster off-heat at the end to guard against overcooking; it will warm just enough as it is gently tossed, putting all the ingredients on speaking terms. If you are entertaining guests and do not prefer last-minute preparations, don't hesitate to serve the pasta at room temperature, glossed with an extra glug or two of good olive oil.

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
2 large cloves garlic, minced
2 cups diced fresh tomatoes
2 medium zucchini (10 to 12 ounces), trimmed and diced
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons minced chives
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 3 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and ground black pepper
6 tablespoons heavy cream
Cooked meat from 2 (1 1/4-pound) lobsters, diced
1 pound fettuccine
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 12-inch sauté pan. Add shallot and garlic, and sauté on medium-low until soft but not brown. Add the tomatoes and cook about 5 minutes, until most of their liquid has evaporated. Add another tablespoon of the olive oil and then the zucchini and cook, stirring, 3 minutes or so, until the zucchini is tender but not soft. Fold in 1 tablespoon of the mint and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the chives.
  • Add the feta and cook, stirring, a few minutes, until it softens. Stir in paprika, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the cream, bring to a simmer and cook 2 to 3 minutes until the cream starts to thicken. Remove from the heat and stir in the lobster meat.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the fettuccine until al dente, about 6 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta, add to the sauté pan, drizzle on the remaining tablespoon of oil and the lemon zest and toss with the zucchini and lobster mixture. Add pasta water, turn the heat to low, add salt and pepper, if needed, and gently mix the ingredients for no more than 3 minutes, just until heated through. Serve with a scattering of the remaining chives and mint.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 onion, quartered
1 carrot, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 bay leaves
1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed
1 piece (1 inch long) fresh ginger, sliced
Zest of 1 orange
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
2 live lobsters (1 1/4 pounds each)
Salt
8 ounces penne, or garganelli
1 Vidalia or other sweet onion
4 small zucchini (about 1 pound)
2 tablespoons minced garlic
4 ears corn, shaved from the cob
2 arugula, stems trimmed, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh marjoram leaves
1 ounce freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Olive-oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Fill sink with ice water. In a stockpot, combine onion, carrot, bay leaves, garlic, ginger, zest, and peppercorns with 8 cups water; cover and bring to a boil. Add lobsters, cover, and cook 8 minutes once water has returned to a boil. Remove lobsters, reserving the liquid; transfer to the ice bath.
  • When lobsters are cool enough to handle, break tails and claws from body; crack open to remove meat. Set meat aside. Add bodies and empty shells to reserved liquid; return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 30 minutes. Drain through a fine sieve; discard solids. Return liquid to pot; cook over medium-high heat until reduced to 1 cup, about 45 minutes. Cut meat from lobster-tail and claw into bite-size pieces; set aside.
  • Bring a 5-quart saucepan of salted water to a boil, and cook pasta until al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain in a colander, and set aside.
  • Cut onion into 1/8-inch wedges; remove the core. Cut zucchini lengthwise into quarters and crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Heat a low-sided 6-quart saucepan coated with olive-oil cooking spray over medium-high heat until very hot. Add onion and garlic; reduce heat to medium low. Cook until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add zucchini; cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Add corn, reserved lobster meat, cooked pasta, reserved liquid, arugula, and marjoram; stir to combine. Stir in Parmesan, if desired; serve.

FETTUCCINE WITH SHREDDED ZUCCHINI, FRESH RICOTTA, AND LEMON ZEST



Fettuccine with Shredded Zucchini, Fresh Ricotta, and Lemon Zest image

I realize that this seems almost too simple to mention, but it is such a perfect dish, and a good solution to a high-summer extravagance of zucchini and mint. And unlike some pasta dishes, it is light enough for a first course. I grate an additional bit of lemon zest over the finished dish.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Salt
1 pound fettuccine
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 or 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or grated
Zest of 1 to 2 lemons
2 medium- large or 4 small zucchini, cleaned but not peeled, and shredded
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1 cup fresh whole-milk ricotta cheese, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Place a large pot of water over high heat. When the water is at a rolling boil, add a big pinch of salt, drop in the fettucine, and stir. Cook the pasta, stirring from time to time, according to package directions for al dente, usually about 12 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is warm, add the garlic and sauté until golden, about 1 minute. Add the lemon zest and cook for 30 seconds longer. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the zucchini, and cook, stirring, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove and reserve about 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta and quickly toss with the zucchini, parsley, and mint. Spoon on the ricotta and toss lightly again, add small amounts of the cooking water to lighten the cheese to the consistency you like, and serve.

SPAGHETTI WITH LEMON AND ZUCCHINI



Spaghetti with Lemon and Zucchini image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for the pasta water
1 lemon, thinly sliced and seeds removed
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, sliced
2 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
1/4 cup capers, drained
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 small zucchini (about 2 pounds total), halved and sliced 1/3-inch thick
1/2 pound spaghetti
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/2 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped or torn
1/2 cup fresh dill, chopped
1 cup crumbled feta or goat cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Season it generously with salt. Add the sliced lemons and blanch for 30 seconds. Using tongs, remove the lemons to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Dry well.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat another 30 seconds. Add the shallots and garlic to the skillet and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until fragrant and beginning to brown slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the capers, anchovy paste, red pepper flakes and the blanched lemon slices and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon to dissolve the anchovy paste and brown the lemons, for another 2 minutes. Add the zucchini and remaining teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until parts of the zucchini turn deep brown while some parts remain al dente, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes less than package directions, about 8 minutes. Add 1/3 cup pasta water to the skillet with the zucchini and stir to deglaze. Use a pair of tongs to remove the pasta directly to the skillet. Sprinkle the bare pasta with the Parmesan and toss well to coat the pasta with the zucchini sauce. (Some of the zucchini should have gotten rather soft, which helps to create a silky sauce.) Add another 1/2 cup pasta water if needed to maintain the sauce. Top the pasta with the herbs and feta and serve.

GARLIC LOVER'S FETTUCCINE WITH OLIVE OIL, GARLIC AND ZUCCHINI



Garlic Lover's Fettuccine With Olive Oil, Garlic and Zucchini image

Entered for safe-keeping. From Martha Rose Schulman's Fast Vegetarian Feasts, received in February 2009 Cookbook Swap. This is based on Italian Pasta Aglio e Olio (pasta with oil and garlic), adding zucchini that has been cut in matchsticks and briefly steamed, then tossed with the pasta and the oil, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. Although the author says 2-3 teaspoons of finely minced garlic is a lot, I would tend to add more, just because... DH and I love garlic.

Provided by KateL

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb zucchini, cut in 2-inch julienne strips (450 g)
1/3 cup olive oil (80 ml)
2 teaspoons garlic, finely minced (up to 3 teaspoons or 10-15 ml per recipe, I usually double what a recipe says)
3/4 lb whole wheat fettuccine (350 g) or 3/4 lb fettuccine (350 g)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated (up to 1 cup or 120-250 ml or to taste)
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (45 ml)
fresh basil, chopped (optional)
fresh sage leaf, chopped (optional)
fresh thyme leave, chopped (optional)
fresh marjoram, chopped (optional)
salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste
parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Steam the zucchini 5 minutes and remove from the heat.
  • Begin bringing water to a boil in a large pot for the pasta. (I would add a generous amount of grated sea salt to the water.).
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil with the garlic in a small pan over very low heat. The garlic should simmer very gently, never turning brown, but just golden. (If it cooks too quickly, it will burn.) It should simmer for about 10 minutes. When it is golden and the oil aromatic, remove from the heat.
  • Have a warmed serving dish ready.
  • Cook the pasta al dente, and when it is done, spoon into the serving dish and toss with the oil and garlic, and the remaining ingredients.
  • Serve at once, passing additional Parmesan cheese.

FETTUCCINE WITH ZUCCHINI, ARUGULA, BASIL, AND LEMON



Fettuccine with Zucchini, Arugula, Basil, and Lemon image

Provided by Gayle Pirie

Categories     Pasta     Tomato     Sauté     Low Fat     Vegetarian     Lemon     Basil     Arugula     Zucchini     Healthy     Vegan     Yellow Squash     Self

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 tsp salt
3/4 lb whole-wheat fettuccine
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 medium zucchini, julienned
1 medium yellow squash, julienned
4 or 5 sprigs basil, leaves shredded
1 bunch arugula, coarsely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
3/4 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Bring 4 quarts water to a full boil. Add 1/4 tsp salt and stir in pasta. Cook 5 to 8 minutes or until noodles are tender but firm. While pasta cooks, warm oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add garlic, swirl for a moment and reduce heat to low. Do not let garlic brown. Add zucchini and yellow squash and sauté gently until zucchini softens slightly, about 5 minutes. Season mixture with 1/4 tsp salt and remove pan from heat. When pasta is finished cooking, drain noodles. Using tongs or 2 kitchen spoons, combine noodles thoroughly with zucchini mixture over low heat. Add basil, arugula, and tomatoes and season with remaining 1/4 tsp salt. Sprinkle with lemon zest and juice and stir to combine. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest ingredients possible. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Do not overcook the lobster. Lobster meat is delicate and can easily become tough if overcooked.
  • Use a good quality white wine. The wine will help to deglaze the pan and add flavor to the sauce.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the zucchini. If you overcrowd the pan, the zucchini will not cook evenly.
  • Season the dish to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, and adjust the other seasonings as desired.

Conclusion:

Fettuccine with Lobster and Zucchini is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of lobster, zucchini, and creamy sauce is sure to please everyone at your table. This dish is also relatively easy to make, so you can enjoy it even on a busy weeknight.
