LINGUINE LOBSTER RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over low heat. Add garlic and saute until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, parsley, sugar and basil (if using). Simmer, uncovered, until sauce has thickened slightly, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, split lobster tails lengthwise with a sharp knife. Remove the meat, chop coarsely and add it to the sauce. Simmer until the lobster is heated through, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in cognac and season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, cook linguine in boiling, salted water until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes or according to package directions. Drain and transfer to a large shallow bowl and toss with the lobster sauce. Serve immediately.

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.
