Ingredients
2 2 Medium Lobster Tail, cut in half lengthwise
Half cup Half Cherry Tomatoes
12 oz 12 Spaghetti
6 tbsp 6 Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 3 Cloves of Garlic
Half Cup Half White Wine
2 tbsp 2 Mincend Parseley
1 teasp 1 Red Peppers flakes (optional)
2 tbsp 2 Salt
Directions
- Heat half the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Place lobster tails cut-side down in the pan. Sear for 3-4 minutes until the shells turn bright red and the meat firms up. Remove and set aside.
- Add the garlic and the red pepper flakes to the same skillet. Sauté until golden and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook until they soften and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
- Return the lobster tails to the skillet, spooning the tomato sauce over them. Add white wine (if using) and let it evaporate for 2 minutes. Let cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the lobster is fully cooked.
- Remove the lobster, shred some of the meat, and place it in the skillet. Toss the garlic.
- Boil the spaghetti in salted water for half the package’s recommended time. Transfer the partially cooked spaghetti directly into the skillet with the lobster and tomato sauce using tongs or a pasta fork, allowing some of the pasta water to come along.
- Toss the spaghetti in the skillet with the lobster and tomato sauce, stirring and adding some reserved pasta water. The sauce should cling to the spaghetti.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley
