Ingredients

  • 2 fresh lobsters, about 1 ½ pounds each
  • 1 pound of linguine pasta
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 can (28 oz) of crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup of dry white wine
  • 1 cup of seafood stock
  • 1/4 cup of fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Lobster

Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, carefully add the lobsters and cook for about 8-10 minutes, until they turn bright red. Remove the lobsters from the pot and set them aside to cool.

Step 2: Cook the Pasta

While the lobsters are cooling, cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Sauce

In a large skillet, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic brown.

Once the garlic is fragrant, add the crushed tomatoes, white wine, and seafood stock to the skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, until it thickens slightly. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Finish the Dish

While the sauce is simmering, crack the lobster shells and remove the meat. Chop the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces. Once the sauce has thickened, add the lobster meat to the skillet and let it simmer for another 5-7 minutes, until the lobster is heated through.

Stir in the chopped parsley and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Toss the cooked linguine into the skillet with the lobster fra diavolo sauce and toss to combine.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Divide the lobster fra diavolo pasta among serving plates, making sure to distribute the lobster pieces and sauce evenly. Garnish with additional parsley and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve the dish hot and enjoy with a glass of chilled white wine.
