Creamy Lobster And Corn Pappardelle Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with 2 inches of water; bring to a boil. Add the lobsters, cover and cook over medium heat until the shells turn bright red, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove with tongs and rinse under cold water to cool slightly. Meanwhile, cut the kernels off the corn; reserve the cobs.
• Remove the meat from the lobster shells: Twist off the claws, then break off the tail; set the bodies aside. Pull the flippers off the tail, then insert your thumb into the flipper end and force out the meat. Crack the claws with a lobster cracker, mallet or the flat side of a knife and remove the meat. Chop the lobster meat into 1-inch pieces and transfer to a bowl; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Rinse the lobster bodies to remove any green matter (tomalley) and roe. Heat 2 tablespoons butter and the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the lobster bodies and cook, turning occasionally, until the butter starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the wine, bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the corn cobs, celery stalk, whole shallot, parsley sprigs and 6 cups water; bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced by about one-third, about 30 minutes. Strain the stock into a bowl or large measuring cup.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced shallot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and paprika; cook, stirring, until slightly darkened, about 1 minute. Stir in the prepared stock and cream and simmer until reduced by one-third, about 20 minutes (you should have 2 3/4 cups sauce). Add the corn kernels; simmer 5 more minutes.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pappardelle and cook as the label directs. Drain, then return to the pot. Add the sauce and the reserved lobster meat and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the lobster meat is heated through, about 1 minute. Stir in the chopped celery leaves and parsley and most of the chervil. Divide among plates and top with the remaining chervil.

Steps:

• Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and bacon and cook until the bacon is beginning to crisp, 8 minutes. Add the shallots, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for an additional 3 minutes, until fragrant. Add the salt, tomato puree and cream; stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine for 1 minute less than the package instructions, about 10 minutes. Using tongs, remove the pasta from the water and add it directly to the pan with the sauce. Sprinkle the cheese directly on the naked pasta and toss to coat in sauce. Add up to 1 cup of the pasta water to loosen the sauce as needed. Stir in the arugula, basil, tarragon, peas and lobster meat; simmer until everything is heated through, 1 minute. Serve with additional Parmesan if desired.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the corn and cook until slightly tender, about 3 minutes. Remove with tongs, reserving the boiling water. Let the corn cool slightly, then cut off the kernels.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook until the tomatoes soften, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 more minute. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the pappardelle in the corn water as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta. Add the chicken broth and corn kernels to the skillet and bring to a simmer.
• Add the pasta to the skillet; add the scallions, parmesan, the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Toss to combine, adding the reserved cooking water as needed. Season with salt and pepper. Top with more parmesan and basil.
