There's something special about lobster you've prepared yourself, but if cooking one on a weeknight isn't your speed, buy cooked lobster or shrimp instead.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces spaghetti
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 pound cherry and/or Sun Gold tomatoes, halved
1 pound picked cooked lobster meat or cooked large shrimp
Freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Lemon wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Cook spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid (the secret to silky sauce).
  • Meanwhile, heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shallot and red pepper flakes, stirring often, until shallot is softened, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring often, until tomatoes are soft and juicy, 5-8 minutes.
  • Add lobster meat to skillet and toss to coat. Add pasta and 1/2 cup reserved pasta cooking liquid; season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook, tossing constantly and adding more reserved pasta cooking liquid as needed, until sauce thickens and coats pasta, about 2 minutes.
  • Serve pasta topped with lemon zest, with lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 Fresno chile, minced (leave in the ribs and seeds for extra spice)
1 medium yellow onion, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
One 28-ounce can whole tomatoes (preferably San Marzano)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound spaghetti
Two 8-ounce lobster tails, fresh or frozen and defrosted
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
Good-quality extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling, optional

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chile flakes, garlic, Fresno chile and onions and cook until the onions are tender and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the white wine and bring to a low simmer. Stir in the tomatoes, salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until reduced slightly, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta and keep warm.
  • Add the lobster tails to the sauce, cover and cook for about 5 minutes (they will not be cooked through at this point). Remove the lobster to a cutting board and carefully use a knife to split open the tails on the backside. Remove the meat and coarsely chop.
  • Add the lobster meat back to the sauce along with a few tablespoons of the pasta water and the spaghetti. Toss to coat, adding more pasta water if the sauce is too dry. Toss in the parsley and mint. Drizzle with a good-quality extra-virgin olive oil, if desired. Serve immediately.

SPICY LOBSTER PASTA

This dish is a little fiddly, but it is well worth the effort, and much of the prep can be done ahead. The sauce is rich with the essence of lobster, balanced with a good kick of hot pepper. It needs a good chewy pasta like bucatini or thick spaghetti.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 lobsters, 1 1/2 pounds each
2 tablespoons butter
1 small carrot, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 bay leaf
A few thyme sprigs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes (pepperoncino)
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup white wine
2 cups tomato purée
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 pound bucatini pasta, or other firm-textured dry pasta
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 teaspoon lemon zest

Steps:

  • Steam or boil lobsters for 6 minutes. Cool to room temperature under running water. Separate claws and tails from lobster heads. Remove tail meat from shell. Pull away black vein and discard, then cut meat into 1/2-inch slices and set aside. Crack claws with mallet, without removing meat, and set aside.
  • With a large knife, split lobster heads in half lengthwise. Remove and discard stomach sacks located just behind eyes (remove green tomalley also if you wish) and roughly chop tail shell. Heat butter in a wide saucepan or skillet over medium high heat. Add heads and shells, with any collected juices, and sauté for about 1 minute. Add carrot, celery, bay leaf and thyme and cook, stirring, for 1 minute more. Add 3 cups water and simmer rapidly for about 10 minutes to reduce by half. Strain, discarding shells, herbs and vegetables. You should yield 1 1/2 cups rich lobster broth.
  • Wipe pan with paper towel and return to stovetop over medium-high heat. Warm the olive oil, then add diced onion, garlic and hot pepper flakes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until onions are completely soft, about 10 to 15 minutes. Take care not to let onion mixture brown.
  • Add wine and simmer rapidly for 2 minutes, then add tomato purée and lobster broth. Simmer for 5 minutes, then add cream and simmer until sauce has thickened somewhat, about 5 minutes more. Turn off heat and adjust seasoning (it should be spicy). You can prepare up to this point several hours in advance.
  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente. Reheat sauce, add cracked lobster claws and simmer for 2 minutes. Add sliced lobster meat and cook for a minute or less, until just heated through. Mix parsley and lemon zest together. Drain pasta and add to sauce, tossing to coat noodles and distribute lobster meat, then transfer to a warm bowl or platter. Arrange one claw on top of each serving and sprinkle with parsley mixture.

Tips:

  • To save time, use frozen lobster meat. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before cooking.
  • If you're using fresh lobster, cook it first. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the lobster. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the lobster is cooked through. Remove the lobster from the pot and let it cool slightly before removing the meat from the shell.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the lobster. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • The type of pasta you use is up to you. Linguine, spaghetti, and fettuccine are all good choices.
  • To make the spicy sauce, use a variety of chili peppers. Serrano peppers, jalapeños, and habaneros are all good options. Just be sure to adjust the amount of peppers you use depending on your desired level of spiciness.
  • If you don't have any heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the sauce will be thinner.
  • Serve the spicy lobster pasta immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro.
