Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 slices bacon, chopped
3 shallots, minced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups tomato puree
1/4 cup cream
1 pound linguine
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1 cup baby arugula, roughly chopped
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
1/4 cup fresh tarragon leaves, roughly chopped
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
Two 1 1/2-pound lobsters, steamed, meat removed

Steps:

  • Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and bacon and cook until the bacon is beginning to crisp, 8 minutes. Add the shallots, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for an additional 3 minutes, until fragrant. Add the salt, tomato puree and cream; stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine for 1 minute less than the package instructions, about 10 minutes. Using tongs, remove the pasta from the water and add it directly to the pan with the sauce. Sprinkle the cheese directly on the naked pasta and toss to coat in sauce. Add up to 1 cup of the pasta water to loosen the sauce as needed. Stir in the arugula, basil, tarragon, peas and lobster meat; simmer until everything is heated through, 1 minute. Serve with additional Parmesan if desired.

  • Add the cold water and bring to a boil. Turn down the flame and let simmer for 35 to 40 minutes. Strain the bouillon into a clean stockpot.

LINGUINE WITH LOBSTER AND VODKA CREAM SAUCE

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs plus 4 egg yolks
1/3 cup loosely packed tarragon leaves, finely chopped
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, minced
Kosher salt
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 cup vodka
Two 14-ounce cans no-salt-added diced tomatoes
1/4 cup loosely packed tarragon leaves, chopped, plus small leaves for garnish
3 fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 lemon, zested
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Two 6-ounce lobster tails, chopped into 1-inch pieces
Kosher salt
1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • For the pasta dough: Create a mound of flour on a clean, flat work surface. Using your fingers, make a well in the center of the mound. Pour the eggs and egg yolks into the well; add the tarragon and 1 tablespoon water. Using a fork, whisk the eggs while incorporating the flour from the inside of the mound, working outward until the flour and eggs are combined. With the palms of your hands, knead the dough. If the dough seems dry and shaggy, dampen your hands with water and knead until the dough is moist but not wet. If it feels wet, add flour, 1 teaspoon at a time. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and allow to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • For the vodka cream sauce: Meanwhile, heat the butter and oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the shallot, sprinkle with salt, and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook until fragrant but not burned, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat before carefully adding the vodka and tomatoes. Then put the pan back over medium-high heat and simmer until the alcohol has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the tarragon, basil and lemon zest. Then lower the heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream; cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Cover and keep warm over low heat.
  • To make the linguine, remove the dough from the plastic wrap. Cut the dough into equal quarters and roll each into a small, thick log. Use your hands or a rolling pin to flatten the logs of dough. Feed one piece of dough through a pasta roller set to the widest setting. Fold the dough into thirds and continue to rolling, adjusting the setting to achieve desired thickness. Cover with a thin towel and repeat with the remaining dough logs. Cut the sheets into the preferred noodle length.
  • Switch the pasta roller to a linguine cutter. Feed each sheet through the cutter. Flour the noodles and then separate them, or hang them to dry to prevent sticking. Repeat with all of the pasta sheets.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the fresh pasta and cook until al dente, about 3 minutes. Remove the pasta and transfer to the pan with the sauce. Turn off the heat and gently stir just to coat the noodles.
  • For the lobster: Heat the oil in a heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lobster pieces, sprinkle with salt and cook until the lobster is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Squeeze the lemon over the lobster.
  • Transfer the pasta to serving bowls, cover with a spoonful of sauce and top with the cooked lobster. Garnish with tarragon leaves and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest lobster possible. The fresher the lobster, the better the flavor of the sauce will be.
  • Cook the lobster meat properly. Overcooked lobster meat will be tough and chewy. Boil the lobster for 5-7 minutes per pound, or until the meat is cooked through.
  • Make sure the cream sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta, but not so thick that it's difficult to stir.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste until the sauce is flavorful but not overpowering.
  • Serve the pasta with lobster cream sauce immediately. This dish is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Pasta with lobster cream sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With its rich, flavorful sauce and tender lobster meat, this dish is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a special meal to make, give this recipe a try.
