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

Image
By my Italian cuisine
 
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 on your side, cut it in half lenghtwise with a sharp knife, twist and pull the lobster claws to separate them from the body. Crush them a bit to make the eating easy. Take 1/4 of the lobster meat, mince it.
Pour the olive oil in a large cooking pan, when hot, add the minced shallot, cook for a few minutes. Add the minced lobster meat. Add the rest of the lobster. Cook a  few seconds on hight heat , not more, remember that the lobster is precooked. If you like at this point you can "deglaçer" with dry white wine or cognac. To do so: pour 2 tbs of your favourite alcool in the pan and allow to evaporate completely. I prefer to keep the lobster natural taste and avoid this step.
Add the tomato purée. Cook for 5-8 minutes at medium heat. Add salt and pepper to taste.
In the meawhile, bring the salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti "al dente", you will complete the cooking in the sauce pan.
Drain and pour the spaghetti in a sauce pan. Complete the cooking for a couple of minutes, add the minced parsley.
Serve it warm with a sprinkle of parsley. Buon appetito!

Neapolitan "Sfogliatella Frolla" (sfogliatella frolla napoletana)

By my Italian cuisine
 The content and pictures of this post are copyright registered & protected ©myitaliancuisine I miss Italy tremendously... so today I will propose you something very traditional from Naple: the Sfogliatella! Neapolitan most famous pastry:"Sfogliatella"comes in two styles: "riccia", with a crust of many crisp, papery layers, and "frolla", with a thicker pastry crust. The riccia's tender exterior (made with flour, water, and lard) consists of concentric squashed rings. The frolla shell (made with flour, sugar, and butter or lard) is like the best sweet piecrust. Both hold fillings of sweetened ricotta and cooked semolina flavored with vanilla, "millefiori" flavour and mixed candied fruits. I propose you the Sfogliatella frolla, much easier to make at home....but terrific as well as the Riccia! The filling is, anyway, always the same. Makes about 20 Sfogliatelle Ingredients for the pastry crust: 500gr Pastry flour 180gr...
