About the Recipe
It has happened a few times… my daughter sees a dish on Instagram she’d like to try, sends me the recipe. I cook it, and it’s a hit! She has a good eye and I put it on the table!
This Lobster Vodka Pasta was exceptional! Probably the best pasta dish I’ve ever cooked! I mean, how can you wrong with a recipe that calls for pasta, lobster chunks, heavy cream and vodka? A dish for any special occasion!
(While you can obviously use other type of pasta, I highly recommend Radiatori pasta! It holds the sauce like no other!)
Ingredients
1 lb Radiatori pasta
6 Tbsp of unsalted butter
1 lb of lobster chuncks
6 minced garlic cloves
4 Tbsp of tomato paste
2 shots of vodka
3 cups heavy cream
Salt, pepper and garlic/onion powder, as taste
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
Preparation
Cook 1 lb Radiatori pasta in salted water until al dente.
Add 6 Tbsp of unsalted butter and 1 lb of lobster to a pan. Cook for a few minutes and remove.
Add 6 minced garlic cloves to the same pan. Cook until fragrant. Mix in 4 Tbsp of tomato paste and cook until slightly darkened.
Add two shots of vodka. Mix together and let cook for a few minutes.
Add 3 cups heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
Let cook for 7 to 10 minutes to allow alcohol to cook off.
Season with salt, pepper and garlic/onion powder, as needed. Add your cooked lobster chunks.
Add 1 cup parmesan cheese, your cooked pasta and a dash of pasta water.
Add a handful of fresh basil and then let it all cook together for a few minutes.
Sprinkle with a little more grated cheese and basil! Enjoy!
