Lobster Spaghetti

Lobster Spaghetti

Serves 2
Ingredients
  • 80 g spaghetti
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 60 ml dry white wine (or 1/4 cup)
  • 223 g cold unsalted butter, diced (or 1 cup )
  • 1 eschallot, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 bunch tarragon
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives
  • 30 g beluga caviar, optional
Instructions
  1. Cook pasta according to packet and set aside. In a small sauce pot, place tarragon, eschallot and white wine together. Reduce until the liquid is halved. Drain and discard the tarragon and reserve the eschallot. Place the liquid back in the sauce pot.
  2. Heat the liquid back up and start adding in the cold butter cubes gradually while whisking continuously. Keep whisking until the liquid starts to thicken. Do not bring the liquid to the boil or it might split. When the sauce has emulsified, take off the heat and set aside until ready to use.
  3. Take the flesh of the lobster from the shell and reserve the head. Cut the lobster to bite size pieces.
  4. Heat the sauce up in a medium pot that could fit the pasta, lobster and sauce. Toss the pasta, the eschallots and lobster in the warm sauce until everything is coated. Season with salt & pepper, sprinkle with chives.
  5. Twirl the pasta using a carving fork and place on a long platter. Use the head as a garnish, making it look like the pasta is the lobster's body. Sprinkle with chopped chives. If using caviar, place the caviar on top. Serve immediately.
