LOBSTER PASTA WITH YELLOW TOMATOES AND BASIL



Lobster Pasta With Yellow Tomatoes and Basil image

This is an uncomplicated dish for warm weather and sunny days. Olive oil, garlic, hot pepper, barely warmed tomatoes and tons of fresh basil are the only ingredients besides lobster and dried pasta, preferably a variety with a bit of texture, like frilly edged reginette, cooked perfectly al dente. The only real work is cooking the lobsters and chopping the meat. Once that's done, go out and enjoy the sunshine while it lasts.

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Lobster

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large (2 pound) fresh lobster
3 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup heavy cream
1 (8 ounce) package dried spaghetti
1 tablespoon butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped

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.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
1 pound cooked lobster meat (from one 2-pound lobster), cut into bite-size pieces
1 1/2 pounds golden and red heirloom cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
3 tablespoons salt-packed capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped
3/4 cup torn fresh basil
Coarse salt
1 pound dried pennoni giganti, rigatoni, or other short tube-shaped pasta
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Cook oil, garlic, and red-pepper flakes in a small skillet over low heat until garlic turns light gold, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Place lobster, tomatoes, capers, 1/2 cup basil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Stir in garlic mixture. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours, tossing occasionally.
  • Cook pasta according to package directions in salted water, and drain. Meanwhile, mix mascarpone and pepper in a small bowl. Add pasta to lobster mixture. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup basil, and serve with peppered mascarpone on the side.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the lobster. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the lobster just until it is opaque and tender. Overcooking will make it tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes for a more flavorful sauce. Yellow tomatoes add a bit of sweetness, while cherry tomatoes add a pop of color and acidity.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your taste. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs as desired.
  • Serve the pasta immediately, while it is still hot. This is when it will be at its best.

Conclusion:

Lobster pasta with yellow tomatoes and basil is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can create a dish that will impress your friends and family.
