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.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 lobsters, 1 1/4 pounds each, or 1 pound cooked lobster meat
1 pound sturdy pasta, like mafaldine, reginetti, lasagnetti, long ziti, macaroni, bucatini or rigatoncini
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 large shallots, finely diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 cups chopped yellow tomato or halved yellow cherry tomatoes
Salt and pepper
2 handfuls basil leaves, torn or roughly chopped

Steps:

  • If using whole lobsters, cook them in abundant boiling water for 6 minutes. Cool, remove meat from tail, claws and knuckles, and chop into 1/2-inch chunks.
  • Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil and cook pasta.
  • Meanwhile, pour olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and cook for 1 minute, without browning. Add garlic and red pepper and cook for 1 minute. Add tomatoes and season generously with salt and pepper. Add lobster meat, stir to coat, cook 1 minute, then turn off heat until pasta is ready.
  • When pasta is al dente, drain, add to skillet, and season with salt and pepper. Toss well and transfer to a warmed wide bowl or platter. Add basil, toss once more and serve immediately.

This lobster pasta was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. The lobster was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I would recommend using less butter and cream next time.
