Equipment

  • large pot
  • skillet
  • Kitchen shears

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces bucatini pasta
  • 2 tails lobster
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup sweet corn kernels fresh or frozen
  • ¼ cup white wine
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves torn, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
  • Carefully place the lobster tails in the boiling water and poach them for about 5-6 minutes until the shells turn bright red and the meat is opaque.
  • Remove the lobster tails from the boiling water and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Once cooled, carefully cut the shells lengthwise and remove the meat, chopping it into bite-sized pieces.
  • Cook the bucatini pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped chili, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the sweet corn kernels to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.
  • Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for a minute to cook off the alcohol.
  • Add the poached lobster meat to the skillet and stir to combine with the garlic, chili, and sweet corn.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Add the cooked bucatini to the skillet and toss with the sauce until well coated, then cook for an additional minute.
  • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with torn fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately.
