How to cook the  Lobster Bolognese



1. Ask your butcher to break apart the lobster into head, claws and tail.

A classic favorite! The New York strip steak is a boneless steak that is richly marbled and tender

Maine/Canadian lobster tails are more sweet and tender than any warm-water tail.

2. Separate the tail and claws from head and set aside. Open up head by pulling down bottom leg half away from top. Scrape away and discard the feathery lungs and insides from the head and using a chef's knife chop head into small pieces.

3. Place the heads in a pot with the stock and bring to a simmer and cook 15 minutes, set aside for 15 minutes, then strain and reserve. Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add enough vinegar to flavor the water and salt to taste like the sea.

4. Let water return to a rolling boil, add lobster tail and claws, reduce heat to medium and cook uncovered. Watch carefully and do not let the water come to a boil again.

5. The pot should bubble occasionally but not simmer. Cook lobster tail for 5 minutes and claws for 7 minutes. Remove from liquid and cool. Shell the tail, knuckles and claws.

6. Sweat shallots and garlic in extra virgin olive oil until soft, about 7-8 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes. Add wine and vinegar until reduced almost dry, about 3-5 minutes.

7. Add stock, bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes - bring lightly salted water to a boil, add spaghetti and cook for 7-8 minutes, and to sauce with butter and cook until butter is incorporated into sauce, add lobster meat warm on medium heat and sprinkle with herbs.
