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.

Steps:

LINGUINE WITH LOBSTER AND AVOCADO
The summer season was beginning, whetting the appetite for a copious seafood salad or a tangy ceviche. But instead, I tore a page from ceviche's playbook and assembled a pasta dish with the avocado, tomato, jalapeño, scallion, cilantro and citrus juice, along with lobster, to mingle with pasta. The result was brightly fresh-tasting, a warm-weather charmer with a touch of spice. Even during the brief cooking, some of the avocado will melt into the mixture, suavely coating the strands of linguine. But be sure that some of the avocado is still intact. The dish is satisfying as the main event yet light enough to serve as a first course followed by chicken or sausages hot off the grill.

Steps:
- Thoroughly mix avocado and lemon juice in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon oil, season with salt and pepper and set aside. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add linguine.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large skillet. Add onion and jalapeño and cook on medium-low until onion is translucent. Add tomatoes and continue cooking 5 minutes or so until they begin to soften and their skins start to wrinkle. Fold in lobster and avocado with its lemon juice and oil, and add 2/3 cup of the pasta water. Continue to cook on low.
- When linguine is al dente, drain it and add it to the skillet. Add scallions and cilantro and fold ingredients together until well combined, the mixture is moist but not soupy, and only a little of the avocado has melted down. Check your salt and pepper, then serve.

Tips:
- Buy the best lobster you can afford: Look for live lobsters with hard shells and active antennae. Avoid lobsters with missing or damaged claws or tails.
- Cook the lobster properly: Overcooked lobster is tough and chewy. To prevent this, cook the lobster just until the meat is opaque and white.
- Use fresh avocado: Avocado that is too ripe will be mushy and not hold its shape. Choose avocados that are firm but slightly yielding to the touch.
- Make the sauce ahead of time: The avocado sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will save you time on the day you serve the dish.
- Serve the dish immediately: Lobster and avocado are best enjoyed when served fresh. Once the dish is assembled, serve it immediately.
Conclusion:
Linguine with lobster and avocado is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of lobster, avocado, and tomato is light and refreshing, and the linguine provides a hearty base. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
