Chef Chuck's Lobster and Spaghetti




Spaghetti con aragosta

This lobster recipe is an elegant and light dish. A very simple Italian feast
with sweet and succulent lobster. Lobsters are found all over the world in many different colors. They are a deep water crustacean, that is a gift from the sea. Roasting the whole garlic releases a mild nutty flavor. The fresh basil adds to the delicate taste.

Lobster and Spaghetti
1 lobster 1/2 pound cut in half
1/2 pound spaghetti
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves whole
2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste

Cook pasta in salted water till al dente. In a separate frying pan on medium heat
add olive oil and garlic cloves for 2 minutes. Cut lobster in half and add a third of the basil, salt, pepper. Turn pan on high heat with lid and cook for 3 minutes then add pasta, pepper flakes and the remaining basil.
Buon Appetito
