Make this Lobster Pasta for you Valentine and they will fall in love with you all over again. It is a super simple recipe that will make you look like a professional chef.
For this recipe I used the spaghetti from my very own pasta line. This pasta (made in Pienza, Italy) is crafted from nutrient-rich organic durum wheat, packed with fiber and essential ingredients that promote easier digestion. It is bronze die cut and slow dried, and is also lower in calories and carbs, while being higher in protein compared to other brands! The taste is amazing as well. It is available on my website.
Recipe note this recipe serves 4. If you are making it for a Valentine’s dinner (as shown in my video) just cut the recipe in half.
Lobster Sauce
Ingredients
(Serves 4)
⅓ Cup Olive Oil
8 Garlic Cloves
1/4 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
4 (4oz) Lobster Tails
1 ½ tsp. Salt
½ tsp. Pepper
2 (28 oz.) Cans Whole Canned Tomatoes, pureed
10 Basil Leaves, chopped
1 lb. Spaghetti
Method
In a sauce pot, heat up olive oil. Add in the garlic and red pepper flakes. Saute on low until the garlic is fork tender.
Rinse each lobster tails. Then to prep the lobster (use kitchen shears or a sharp scissor), cut off the legs. Next you will need to cut the lobster tales in half. You can leave the tail whole but I find that cutting them in half is easier for serving. First, cut down the middle of the top of the tail. Turn it over and do the same on the other side. Then take your knife and cut the lobster meat in half. Set aside.
Next use a fork and mash the garlic into the oil.
Add in the lobster (flesh side down) and incorporate it into the oil. Cook on low to medium for 10 minutes turning every few minutes, Be sure to turn at least once.
Then season with the salt and pepper. Add in the pureed tomatoes and bring to a simmer,
Then add in the fresh basil, turn and cover. Cook on low for about 45 minutes to an hour, turning the sauce every 15 minutes or so. Cooking the lobsters in the sauce gives it great flavor
In the meantime, boil the pasta water. When the sauce is almost cooked add in the pasta to the boiling water and cook until it is al dente.
Combine the pasta with the sauce and serve.
