Pasta and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Cook the Bucatini

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the bucatini pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2

Prepare the Sauce

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped Calabrian chiles, sautéing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

3

Add Tomatoes

Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes, sea salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes.

4

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked bucatini pasta and chopped lobster meat to the sauce. Toss gently to combine, allowing the pasta to absorb the flavors for about 2-3 minutes.

5

Finish with Basil and Cheese

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped basil and grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Mix well.

6

Serve

Serve hot, garnished with additional basil and cheese if desired, alongside grilled sourdough bread.
