Equipment

  • Large pot for boiling water
  • deep skillet

Ingredients

  • 8-10 oz linguine pasta dry, about half the box
  • 1 cup salted pasta water
  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 shallots, finely diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely diced
  • 1 Tbsp all purpose flour optional, see notes
  • 1½ Tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 Tbsp chili garlic sauce
  • ½ tsp dried basil
  • ¼ tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • ¼ tsp salt & pepper each
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • 2-3 cups cooked lobster
  • parsley, minced for garnish

Instructions

  • Boil the pasta. Add it to a large pot of boiling water thats well salted. Cook the pasta al dente according to the package. *don't forget to save 1 cup of the pasta water before draining.
  • Heat a skillet on medium high heat, add the butter, onions and garlic, sauté for about 1 minute, add the seasonings and the flour (if using). Mix well.
  • add the tomato paste, chili garlic sauce. Let that bloom for about 1 minute, deglaze the pan with the wine and pasta water. Let everything simmer for about 4 minutes.
  • add the heavy cream, lobster and take it off the heat. Add the cooked pasta while it's wam toss everything together and serve, garnish with parsley and spoon extra sauce over the dish is desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh lobster or use frozen lobster. Both are great but frozen is much quicker and more affordable. Be sure to read the thawing instructions on the back of the package.
  • Do not overcook the lobster! When you buy it frozen, it's already cooked so you want to be sure to add it close to last just to bring it to temperature.
  • If you don't want to use wine, no problem! a fresh squeeze of lemon juice will do the trick. But I do want to mention the alcohol burns off while it's simmering and adds a beautiful flavor.
  • Use 1 Tablespoon of all purpose flour when sautéing the onions and garlic, this will thicken the broth and make a roux. This is optional!
