Lobster Tomato Sauce Pasta

Yesterday, I found myself staring at two live lobsters in my kitchen, a gift from a friend who just returned from Maine. The idea of making a luxurious Lobster Tomato Sauce Pasta immediately came to mind, perfect for a summer dinner that feels both indulgent and comforting.
Ingredients
- 2 live lobsters (about 1 1/2 pounds each)
- A couple of tablespoons of olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- A pinch of red pepper flakes
- 1 can (28 oz) of crushed tomatoes
- A splash of white wine
- Salt, to season
- 12 oz of spaghetti
- A handful of fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobsters and cook for 8 minutes. Remove and let cool.
- Once cool, remove the meat from the shells. Chop the meat into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and white wine to the skillet. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the sauce simmers, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta water.
- Add the lobster meat to the sauce, cooking just until heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Toss the spaghetti with the sauce, adding a bit of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Stir in the fresh basil before serving.
Kicking back with a plate of this pasta, the sweetness of the lobster pairs beautifully with the tangy tomato sauce, while the basil adds a fresh finish. Serve it with a crisp white wine and a side of garlic bread to soak up every last drop of sauce.
