 | I bought crablegs at a Kroger on my way home from work instead of my usual two Krogers I alternate between. I noticed that they had whole steamed lobsters in the seafood case and since Miss F adores lobster so much, I knew I wanted to make a pasta with it next time C was out of town. I decided to hit the grocer after school, so the lobster would be fresh and so that Miss F could help select which lobster she wanted. Our regular Kroger only had the tails and I wasn't interested in smelling up the house steaming lobster. So we went to another Kroger, no lobster, and then to the Kroger where I had initially seen the whole lobsters, no luck. I tried to convince her to have shrimp pasta instead, but once I had tempted her with lobster, there was no going back. I ended up steaming the lobster tails at home, then boiling a pot of water with 1/4 cup of white vinegar to kill the smell. It was worth it. Recipe inspired from Simple Seasonal. |
12 ounces linguine
1 large steamed lobster or 3 small steamed tails
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
½ cup white wine
¼ clam juice
3 tablespoons tomato paste
¾ cup half and half
Prepare the pasta per package instructions, drain and set aside. Break down the lobster and chop the meat into bite sized pieces, set aside. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour, whisking for 1 minute until fully incorporated. Add the wine while still whisking, cook for 1 minute more. Add the clam juice and tomato paste while still whisking and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, stir in the drained pasta, lobster and half and half into the sauce; salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
