Lobster Spaghetti in tomato sauce - Spaghetti con sugo d'aragosta

  Here is another of my favourite spaghetti recipe. I love lobster I could eat it every day.... Of course it is not the cheapest food and for some people the "boiling it alive" part is unacceptable. The most  effortable lobsters are the small frozen precooked Canadian lobster, their price goes from 5 to 6 euros  and you can prepare a good spaghetti for 2-3 persons with one lobster. If you use a frozen precooked lobster make sure you thaw it first, keep it in the fridge overnight or even more if needed. Serves 2-4 persons Ingredients: 1 frozen precooked small lobster (300-400gr) 280gr Italian spaghetti 1/2 lt of Italian tomato "passata" (purée) 1 shallot, minced 3 tbs of extra virgin olive oil Fresh parsley, minced 4lt boiling salted water Salt and pepper to taste Instructions : The day before, defrost the lobster, keep it in the fridge overnight or all day long if needed. Cut the lobster in pieces: place the lobster belly side up with the tail

With 1kg of clams you can prepare "pasta alle vongole" for 4 persons.   Here I give you the very traditional recipe, without tomato sauce. There are many variations of Spaghetti alle vongole ( in Italy recipes are aften adapted according to the uses and tastes of the different regions). This recipe is the most common one, the spaghetti you will get if you order it in a good restaurant in Rome for example... by the way if you visit Rome try "Spaghetti alle vongole&q
