Creamy Lobster Linguini Recipes

CREAMY LOBSTER LINGUINE

Steps:

• Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and bacon and cook 8 minutes, or until the bacon is beginning to crisp. Add the shallots, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook an additional 3 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the salt, tomato puree and heavy cream and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and simmer 5 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine 1 minute less than the suggested cooking time, about 10 minutes.
• Using tongs, remove the pasta from the water and add directly to the pan with the sauce. Sprinkle the cheese directly on the naked pasta and then toss to coat in the sauce. Add up to 1 cup of pasta water, as needed, to loosen the sauce. Stir in the arugula, tarragon, basil, peas and lobster and simmer an additional minute, or until everything is heated through. Garnish with additional parmesan and basil, if desired.

CREAMY LOBSTER LINGUINI

Steps:

• Cook linguini in a pot of boiling salted water. In a pan, melt butter; add green onions, lobster, and salt and pepper. Remove lobster when it's heated through.
• Add Dijon mustard to pan. Then add white wine to deglaze; stir constantly to scrape up any bits from bottom and evaporate the alcohol. Let reduce to half.
• Add cream, simmering until thickened. Return lobster meat to pan and allow to reheat. Toss in a large bowl with linguini. Garnish with parmesan.

AMAZING SHRIMP AND LANGOSTINO LOBSTER LINGUINE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted and oiled water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
• Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; saute bacon, onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes in hot oil until onion is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir white wine into bacon mixture; cook and stir until wine is absorbed, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Stir shrimp and langostino lobster into bacon mixture; saute until shrimp and langostino are pink, about 2 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium and stir cooked linguine into shrimp mixture. Stir peas, pesto sauce, and half-and-half into shrimp-linguine mixture; cook and stir until linguine absorbs the liquid, 5 to 10 minutes. Top servings with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

LOBSTER PASTA WITH HERBED CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring very large pot of salted water to boil. Add lobsters. Boil until cooked through, about 12 minutes (or cook in batches, if necessary). Using tongs, transfer lobsters to large rimmed baking sheet. Remove meat from tail and claws; place meat in medium bowl. Remove any roe from bodies and place in small bowl. Cover and chill meat and roe (if any). Remove tomalley (green matter) from bodies and discard. Reserve bodies and shells.
• Heat oil in heavy large pot over high heat. Add reserved lobster bodies and shells. Sauté 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add tomato paste; stir 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, wine, vinegar, garlic, tarragon, thyme, and parsley. Add cream; boil 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer just until lobster flavor infuses cream, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Strain sauce into large bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard contents of strainer. (Lobster and sauce can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover separately and chill.)
• Transfer sauce to heavy large saucepan. Cut lobster meat into bite-size pieces; coarsely crumble roe, if using. Add to sauce. Gently rewarm over low heat, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain; return pasta to pot. Add sauce; toss over medium-high heat until sauce coats pasta, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to large shallow bowl and serve.
