Pasta and Lobster Recipe

Instructions

Poach the Lobster
1. In a small saucepan, add diced onion, garlic, and 1 tbsp of butter. Sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the wine, remaining butter, and chives. Bring to a boil.
2. Add the cleaned lobster tails and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 5-6 minutes (you’ll notice the lobster begins to curl).
3. Transfer the poached lobster to a plate and cut it into large chunks. Set aside.
Prepare the Pasta
4. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare the pasta according to the package instructions. Cook to Al dente. Reserve about ½ cup of pasta water to use for later.
5. In a skillet over medium heat, add butter, shallots, and garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes.
6. Add the cream and seasonings. Mix well and bring to a simmer. When the cream is bubbling slightly, add the grated parmesan cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, and basil. Mix well until combined and reduce the heat to low. (do not boil sauce or the cheese will separate)
7. Toss in the cooked pasta with tongs. Make sure the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper as needed. Then, add in the cooked lobster.
8. Serve and garnish with lemon zest, chopped basil or chives, and lemon wedges.
