Linguine with Lobster Sauce ___

Linguine with Lobster Sauce

Ingredients

For the Pasta:

  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 2 lobsters, cut in half
  • 14 ounces cherry tomatoes
  • 24 ounces tomato passata
  • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • pinch of salt
  • red pepper, as desired
  • 1 pound linguine pasta

Directions

Split the lobsters in half and set aside.

In a large saute pan add 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 3 cloves of sliced garlic and the peperoncino.

As soon as the garlic begins to sizzle add to the pan  the halved  lobsters side-cut down. Let the lobster saute` for about 4 minutes.

Remove the lobsters from the pan and set aside.

Add to the pan a little more extra virgin olive oil and more sliced garlic.

Once the garlic turns golden, add the cherry tomatoes. Crush them with a spoon.

After 3-4 minutes add the passata. Let everything simmer for about 5 minutes.

Add the lobsters to the pan and cook for about 15 minutes. Turn the lobsters a few times during the cooking process.

If the sauce dries up a bit, add some pasta water.

Cook the linguine in salted water to Al Dente.

Remove the lobsters from the sauce pan and place in a warm oven.

Add the linguine to the sauce and toss for 1-2 minutes. Ideally you want all the sauce to coat the linguine and very little sauce left at the bottom of the pan.

Serve immediately with the lobster.
