Description

This elegant dish transforms humble ingredients into a gourmet experience, blending the sweetness of lobster with the earthy aroma of saffron. The base is a rich, quick-cooking sauce of roasted vegetables, garlic, and overripe tomatoes, deglazed with dry white wine. Fettuccine noodles are tossed directly in the pan, absorbing the vibrant flavors before being combined with tender lobster chunks. Finished with fresh chives, this recipe offers a sophisticated yet approachable dinner perfect for special occasions or when you want to impress guests with bold Mediterranean flavors.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Steam lobsters for 10 minutes, then cool and remove meat from shells. Cut lobster meat into 1/4-inch pieces.
  2. Heat 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in a 12 to 14-inch sauté pan over medium-high heat until smoking.
  3. Add 1 medium red onion (cut into 1/8-inch julienne), 2 ribs celery (cut into 1/4-inch pieces), 1 medium potato (cut into 1/8-inch dice), and 2 cloves garlic (thinly sliced).
  4. Sauté vegetables until golden brown and tender.
  5. Add 1/2 lb overripe tomatoes (cut into 1/2-inch dice), 1 cup dry white wine, and 1 pinch saffron. Bring mixture to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute to meld flavors.
  7. Meanwhile, bring 6 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. Cook 1 lb De Cecco fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
  8. Add the cut lobster pieces to the tomato sauce in the pan and toss gently to coat.
  9. Add the hot drained pasta to the pan along with 1/2 cup finely sliced chives.
  10. Toss everything together to evenly coat the pasta, then serve immediately.
