Time 3h10m

Yield s: 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 lobsters (or the equivalent of 3 pounds)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 carrot, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 head garlic, halved
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 tablespoon peppercorns
16 cups water
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 pound/450 g dried or fresh fettuccine
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh chives
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the lobster stock:
  • In a large stockpot filled with boiling water, cook the lobsters for approximately 8 minutes. Drain, remove and de-shell the lobsters, keeping the carcasses for the stock. Reserve the lobster meat in a separate bowl for later.
  • In the same stockpot, add the oil. Combine the lobster shells with the carrot, celery, onion, garlic, rosemary, thyme, peppercorns, water, and ketchup. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let reduce for 2 hours. Strain and transfer 6 cups/1.5 L of the remaining stock into a smaller saucepan, reducing on medium heat for another 20 minutes or until approximately 1/3 of the stock is left. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the fettuccine. Cook 1 minute less than instructed. Strain and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan on medium heat and add the shallot. Saute 1 minute, then add the garlic and continue cooking for another 2 minutes. Add stock. Add the pasta, reserved lobster meat, peas, and chives, and 2 tablespoons butter and mix well. Salt, and pepper, to taste.
  • Cook's Note: Any leftover lobster stock can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The sauce was flavorful and the lobster was cooked perfectly. However, I thought the dish was a bit too rich for my taste.

This dish was just okay. The sauce was a bit bland, and the lobster was a bit overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce curdled and the lobster was overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I will not be trying this recipe again.
