Ingredients

Champagne Butter Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons minced shallots
  • 1 cup champagne
  • 1 pound cold butter, cut into 2-inch cubes
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 whole lobster, cooked
  • 1/2 pound spinach parpedelle pasta, cooked al dente and tossed with olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons salmon roe
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 chunk Parmesan Reggiano Cheese
  • 2 long chives

Directions

For the pasta: In a small stock pot, fill with enough water to come up 2/3 of the pot. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and salt. Let the salted water come to a boil.

For sauce: In a sauce pan, combine the shallots and champagne together. Reduce the mixture to a glaze. Using a whisk, mount in the cold butter cubes slowly, whisking constantly. The sauce will start to thicken. Strain into a clean saute pan and season with salt and pepper. Keep the sauce warm.

For the lobster: Remove the lobster from the pot. Detach the tail and the claws from the body. With the back of a french knife, crack the claws and carefully remove the meat. Follow the same procedure for the tail. Slice the tail meat on the bias into six equal slices.

For the pasta: Drop the spinach pasta into the boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Remove and drain. Toss the pasta with 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. To assemble, toss the pasta with 2/3 of the butter sauce. Using a small pair of tongs, twirl the pasta into a nice size nest and place in the center of the plate. Add the lobster to the remaining sauce to warm. Arrange the lobster tail meat on top and the claw meat around the pasta. Garnish with the salmon roe. Sprinkle with the parsley and hand grated cheese. Top with the long chives

    OOMMGGGGG! Best recipe ever, this is so delicious but here are my recommendations:
    1. use half of the butter called for to make the sauce. I used 2 sticks of salted butter.
    2. Use any type of good quality pappardelle pasta, usually found at gourmet stores or Fresh market, etc.
    3. I bought frozen lobster meat from BJ's. It was easy to thaw and then heat in the butter sauce.

    I knew there was something wrong with the amount of butter in this recipe when I read it, but I went ahead and followed the recipe exactly (which I think is only fair if I'm going to be rating it. Of course, it was way too much butter. Why would anyone ever put 1 pound of butter on 8 oz. of pasta? One stick of butter is more than sufficient for 1/2 lb. of pasta. This is obviously a typo. It is tasty, and I have lots of butter sauce left over to use for other things. As a recipe for two, if made according to directions, each person would be ingesting 1,600 calories of just butter since each stick is 800 calories.
