Categories     Milk/Cream     Dairy     Pasta     Shellfish     Tomato     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Lobster     White Wine     Fall     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 1 3/4-pound live lobsters
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 large plum tomatoes, chopped
1/3 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, sliced
2 fresh tarragon sprigs
2 fresh thyme sprigs
2 fresh Italian parsley sprigs
6 cups whipping cream
1 1/2 pounds fettuccine or linguine

Steps:

  • Bring very large pot of salted water to boil. Add lobsters. Boil until cooked through, about 12 minutes (or cook in batches, if necessary). Using tongs, transfer lobsters to large rimmed baking sheet. Remove meat from tail and claws; place meat in medium bowl. Remove any roe from bodies and place in small bowl. Cover and chill meat and roe (if any). Remove tomalley (green matter) from bodies and discard. Reserve bodies and shells.
  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over high heat. Add reserved lobster bodies and shells. Sauté 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add tomato paste; stir 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, wine, vinegar, garlic, tarragon, thyme, and parsley. Add cream; boil 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer just until lobster flavor infuses cream, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Strain sauce into large bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard contents of strainer. (Lobster and sauce can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover separately and chill.)
  • Transfer sauce to heavy large saucepan. Cut lobster meat into bite-size pieces; coarsely crumble roe, if using. Add to sauce. Gently rewarm over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain; return pasta to pot. Add sauce; toss over medium-high heat until sauce coats pasta, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to large shallow bowl and serve.

Penne Vodka with Herbed Chicken image

Categories     Vodka     Chicken     Pasta     Poultry     Tomato     Sauté     Parmesan     Basil     Fall     Summer     Simmer     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound penne pasta
1 23 1/2-ounce container refrigerated marinara sauce (about 2 cups)
1 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes with roasted garlic in juice
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup vodka
3/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 whole roasted lemon-pepper chicken or whole roasted chicken, skinned
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring frequently. Drain. Return to pot.
  • Meanwhile, heat marinara sauce, tomatoes with juices, basil, vodka, and crushed red pepper in heavy large saucepan over medium heat until hot, about 5 minutes. Add shredded chicken and stir until heated through.
  • Add sauce to pasta and toss. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving bowl. Sprinkle with cheese and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Penne pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Cooking it for too long will make it mushy.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta, but not so thick that it's difficult to stir.
  • Serve the pasta immediately. Pasta is best served fresh out of the pot, while it's still hot and steaming.

Conclusion:

Penne pasta with an herbed cream sauce is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's sure to please the whole family. With its creamy, flavorful sauce and tender pasta, it's a dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a simple but delicious pasta recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
