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.

LOBSTER PASTA WITH YELLOW TOMATOES AND BASIL
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.

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.

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.

Tips:
- Use fresh asparagus. Fresh asparagus will have a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture than asparagus that has been stored for a long time.
- Cook the asparagus properly. Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most common methods are boiling, steaming, and roasting. Boiling is the quickest method, but it can make the asparagus mushy. Steaming is a gentler method that preserves the asparagus's flavor and texture. Roasting is a great way to bring out the asparagus's natural sweetness.
- Use good quality lobster meat. Lobster meat can be expensive, so it's important to use good quality meat. Look for lobster meat that is firm and has a sweet flavor.
- Don't overcook the lobster meat. Lobster meat is very delicate, so it's important to cook it quickly. Overcooked lobster meat will be tough and chewy.
- Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what will bring all the flavors of the dish together. Choose a sauce that is creamy, flavorful, and complements the lobster and asparagus.
Conclusion:
Lobster and asparagus penne pasta is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a lobster and asparagus penne pasta that will impress your friends and family.
