Linguine With Lobster And Avocado Recipes

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.

LINGUINE WITH LOBSTER AND AVOCADO

Steps:

• Thoroughly mix avocado and lemon juice in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon oil, season with salt and pepper and set aside. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add linguine.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large skillet. Add onion and jalapeño and cook on medium-low until onion is translucent. Add tomatoes and continue cooking 5 minutes or so until they begin to soften and their skins start to wrinkle. Fold in lobster and avocado with its lemon juice and oil, and add 2/3 cup of the pasta water. Continue to cook on low.
• When linguine is al dente, drain it and add it to the skillet. Add scallions and cilantro and fold ingredients together until well combined, the mixture is moist but not soupy, and only a little of the avocado has melted down. Check your salt and pepper, then serve.
