PASTA WITH LOBSTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove the hard top shell from the lobster bodies and discard. Remove all the inner meat from the body (there is a fair amount, actually!) as well as the green " tomalley " (liver) as well as any of the bright red "coral" (roe) if there is any.
• Put all the meat, tomalley, and roe in a bowl, and set aside in the fridge.
• Returning to the remains of the lobsters, locate and remove any feathery lungs you find; they are shaped like spear points and are light and grayish. Also, discard the nasty-looking fluid-filled sac at the front of the lobster's head.
• Now that the lobster body is cleaned, break up the shells-including broken pieces of legs, knuckles, and claws as well if you have them-into little pieces and set aside.
• Put the olive oil in a stockpot and heat over medium-high heat for a minute or two. Add the dried chiles and the garlic; turn the heat down to medium. Cook until the garlic browns. Be careful not to burn it.
• Add the shells, peppercorns, bay leaves, and whole cloves, and mix well to combine. Turn the heat back up to medium-high and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Set a large pot of salty water on a burner to a boil. This will be your pasta water.
• Now add both the cognac and the ouzo to the lobster sauce and mix well for 5 to 10 seconds. Add the tomato puree, tarragon, and parsley, then cover and bring to a simmer.
• Let this simmer for 20 minutes, then crush everything in the pot using a potato masher. Do this again at 45 minutes.
• If the sauce gets too thick, add a little water. You want it to be thicker than water, but thinner than what you think of as a sauce; we will thicken it later. Taste for salt and add a little if it needs it.
• At the 55-minute mark, turn off the heat. Pour the sauce through a colander into another large pot. Mash the contents one more time. If you happen to have a food mill or duck press, use it. Discard the shells and other bits in the colander.
• Now would be a good time to start cooking your pasta.
• Pour half the strained sauce into a food processor. Add the reserved lobster meat, tomalley, and coral, then buzz the mixture until smooth. If you have a lot of leftover meat, reserve some for garnishing the pasta.
• Pour the contents of the food processor back into the pot with the rest of the strained sauce. If it is still too thin for your liking, add a little tomato paste. Heat gently for 5 minutes-it is very important to not let the sauce boil!-and serve.

LOBSTER AND SHELLS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons of salt and some olive oil. Add the pasta and cook it for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente. Add the corn to the pasta and cook it for another 2 minutes, until the corn is tender. Drain the pasta and corn together in a colander and pour them into a large mixing bowl. Add the scallions, diced pepper, tomatoes, and lobster, tossing gently to combine. Allow to cool slightly.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, 4 teaspoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper until smooth. Pour over the pasta and mix well to bind the ingredients. Stir in the dill. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for up to 6 hours to allow the flavors to develop. Check the seasonings and serve chilled or at room temperature.

CREAMY LOBSTER LINGUINE

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.

LOBSTER PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the lobster and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until bright red.
• As soon as the lobster starts cooking, melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and 3 cloves of garlic. Cook and stir just to release the liquid. Do not let them brown.
• When the lobster comes out of the pot, place it on a cutting board and use a big knife to cut it in half lengthwise. Place the halves meaty side down into the skillet with the onion and garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes.
• Bring another pot of water to a boil and season with a little salt. Add the spaghetti and cook for 8 minutes, or until tender. If you want to save time and a pot, you could boil the pasta in the lobster water since it is already boiling, just add salt.
• Add the tomatoes to the skillet and turn the heat up to high to bring to a boil. Add the olive oil, salt, pepper and cinnamon. Cook, stirring constantly for 5 to 7 minutes. Slowly pour in the cream, stirring constantly. The sauce will become a nice pink color. Turn the heat down to medium-low. Keep warm, stirring occasionally until the pasta is done.
• Drain the spaghetti and place on a large serving plate. Stir in the remaining butter and garlic. Pour the tomato sauce over the spaghetti and arrange the two lobster halves in the center. Sprinkle all over with parsley and serve.
