Equipment

  • 1 Large Saucepan
  • 1 Medium Saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 3 sprigs fresh tarragon
  • 3 sprigs fresh Italian parsley, plus extra for garnish
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup white wine (I used sauvignon blanc)
  • 7 oz canned diced roma tomatoes, drained
  • 2 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1/8 cup tomato paste
  • 3 tsp Better Than Bouillon Lobster Base
  • 1 8 oz pack Luke's Lobster Meat, defrosted and broken up into chunks
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 12 oz fettuccine (linguine also works)

Instructions
 

Sauce

  • Heat olive oil in a large saucepan
  • Add tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic, tarragon, parsley, thyme and sauté for a few minutes
  • Add wine and white wine vinegar and continue to cook for another few minutes
  • Add heavy cream and bring to a slight boil
  • One bubbling, add lobster bouillon base and stir into the cream ensuring the paste is well blended in
  • Simmer for 20 minutes to let all the flavors infuse with the cream
  • Pour sauce through a strainer into a bowl or pot and keep on low heat

Pasta

  • Cook pasta according to instructions on the package and to the doneness you prefer. Optional: Cook pasta in a lobster base - boil water in pot and 1 tsp of lobster bouillon base per 8 oz of water
  • Reserve a cup of starchy pasta water to help thicken the sauce later
  • Drain pasta and return to pot

Assembly

  • Once sauce and pasta are done, add sauce slowly to the drained pasta over a low heat. NOTE: Do not add all the sauce, you will have extra. Add as much as you see fit for your preference.
  • Keep the heat on low while mixing together.
  • Let sit for a few min to thicken and heat up the lobster pieces. If the sauce looks too watery, add a splash of pasta water (little at a time)

Serve

  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot

Notes

  • I found the Luke's Lobster meat in the refrigerated seafood section at Whole Foods. I never use the seasoning packet it comes with. 
  • If you prefer lobster tails, you can cook those separately and add to the final step before serving 
  • For leftovers, be sure to add a bit of the extra sauce before storing in the refrigerator. Leftovers can be kept up to 3 days.
