  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add lobster and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until bright red.
  • As soon as lobster starts cooking, melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and 3 cloves of garlic. Cook and stir just to release liquid. Do not let them brown.
  • When lobster comes out of the pot, place it on a cutting board and use a big knife to cut it in half lengthwise. Place halves meaty side down into the skillet with onion and garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes.
  • Bring another pot of water to a boil and season with a little salt. Add spaghetti and cook for 8 minutes, or until tender. If you want to save time and a pot, you could boil pasta in lobster water since it is already boiling, just add salt.
  • Add tomatoes to the skillet and turn the heat up to high to bring to a boil. Add olive oil, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Cook, stirring constantly for 5 to 7 minutes. Slowly pour in cream, stirring constantly. Sauce will become a nice pink color. Turn the heat down to medium-low. Keep warm, stirring occasionally until pasta is done.
  • Drain spaghetti and place on a large serving plate. Stir in remaining butter and garlic. Pour tomato sauce over spaghetti and arrange the two lobster halves in the center. Sprinkle all over with parsley and serve.
