1/4 teaspoon chili flakes

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon Sea Salt

1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper

10 ounces PASTA REA Rigatoni, Tagliatelle or pasta of choice

 

1. Bring 1/2 gallon of water to a low simmer. Add 1/2 tablespoon of sea salt and hold

 

2. With a sharp pair of scissors cut down the center of the bottom of the lobster tail. Separate shell with fingers and remove tail meat. Cut into ¼ pieces.

5.         Add all remaining ingredients except pasta to sauté pan, mix well and check for seasonings then reduce to a very low simmer

 

6.         Bring water back to a rolling boil add pasta and cook to desired texture, we suggest Al Dente

 

7 .        Drain well and add the pasta  to the sauce mixture. You may use a little of the pasta water if the sauce mixture has become too thick

 

8.         Toss until all ingredients are well incorporated

 

9.         Plate evenly in 2 portions, serve immediately.
