Preparation

Pasta Preparation

1. Make the Pasta Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Mix until a dough forms. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

2. Prepare the Lobster Filling

In a bowl, mix together the chopped lobster meat, mascarpone cheese, lemon zest, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Pasta Assembly

3. Roll Out the Dough

After the dough has rested, roll it out thinly using a pasta machine or rolling pin. Cut into squares or circles.

4. Fill the Pasta

Place a small spoonful of the lobster filling in the center of each pasta square/circle. Fold over and seal the edges using a fork, ensuring no filling escapes.

Basil Pesto Crema Preparation

5. Make the Pesto

In a food processor, combine basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, and salt. Pulse until coarsely chopped. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil until smooth. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Add heavy cream and blend until creamy.

Cooking the Pasta

6. Cook the Caramelle

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the filled pasta and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.

Serving

7. Plate the Dish

On a plate, create a swirl of basil pesto crema. Arrange the cooked caramelle on top and drizzle with additional pesto if desired. Serve immediately.
