Instructions

Step 1

If you’re using whole lobsters, cook them in boiling water for 6-8 minutes until bright red. Remove from boiling water, cool completely and remove the meat from tail, claws and knuckles and chop into large chunks.

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta.

Step 3

While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and cook them for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add garlic and red pepper and cook for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook until the tomatoes start to burst. Add the white wine and cook until reduced. Add lobster meat and butter, stir to coat, and cook for 1 minute, then turn off the heat.

Step 4

When pasta is al dente, drain it and add to skillet, and season with salt and pepper. Toss well and transfer to a large serving platter. Add basil, lemon zest and lemon juice and toss once more. Serve immediately.
