Linguine With Lobster

Step 1

Score the bottom of the tomatoes with an X-shaped cut and drop them into boiling water for a few seconds. Strain, peel, and remove the seeds; then chop them into cubes.

Step 2

Cut the lobsters in half lengthwise. Cut the four halves into pieces. In a pan, heat 1/3 to 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil. When hot, add the lobster pieces. Mix, cover, and cook for 5-6 minutes on low heat. Add a handful of chopped parsley, salt and pepper and cook for another 7 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes and 3/4 cup water. Cover and cook for another 10 minutes.

Step 3

Cook the linguine in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and add to the pan with the lobster, tossing everything together quickly to coat. Serve immediately.
