BUTTER LOBSTER PASTA RECIPES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook linguine according to package directions until just shy of al dente.Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season lobster tails with salt and place them flesh side down in the pan. Sear 2 minutes, then flip the lobsters on their shells, and sear another 1 to 2 minutes, until the shells turn bright red. Immediately transfer the tails to a cutting board, and use a fork to remove the meat, set aside. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add chicken stock, juice from half the lemon, chile flakes and another pinch of salt. Simmer 5 minutes. Remove sauce from heat and add linguine and parmesan cheese. Cover pan and let sit 5 minutes, allowing pasta to absorb more of the liquid. Remove the lid and add parsley and lemon juice from remaining half. Season with additional salt. Add lobster meat to pasta and toss to coat. Serve with additional parmesan, parsley and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Pour flour onto a clean work surface and make a well in the middle. Mix eggs, egg yolk, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a bowl. Pour the egg mixture into the well; slowly incorporate flour into egg mixture until combined. Knead dough until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes, adding more flour as needed. Cover and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
• Roll dough using a pasta machine or rolling pin; cut into noodles about 1/4-inch wide.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add 1 tablespoon salt. Prepare a large bowl of ice water. Add lobster tails to the boiling water. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes; drain and shock in the ice water. Slit the shells with kitchen shears and gently extract the meat.
• Heat 1/4 cup water in a saucepan over medium heat to just under a boil. Add butter, piece by piece, using a kitchen thermometer to keep the sauce at 160 to 180 degrees F (71 to 82 degrees C). Add lobster tails; cook until meat is opaque yet soft and almost undercooked, 5 to 6 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Reduce heat to low.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook noodles in the boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, 1 to 3 minutes; drain.
• Divide pasta and lobster equally among serving plates. Add tomatoes to the butter sauce; cook until barely softened, about 2 minutes. Split the sauce and tomatoes equally over the pasta and lobster. Season with salt and pepper; garnish with basil leaves.
