Equipment

  • Pot
  • skillet
  • kitchen shears
  • sharp knife

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces bucatini pasta
  • 2 pieces lobster tails fresh
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 piece fresh chili seeded and finely chopped
  • 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, or 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. This will stop the cooking process and make it easier to remove the meat from the shells.
  • Once the lobster tails have cooled down, use kitchen shears or a sharp knife to carefully cut the shells lengthwise. Gently remove the meat and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  • 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, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the sweet corn kernels to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are 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. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Add the cooked bucatini pasta to the skillet and toss it with the sauce until well coated. Cook for an additional minute to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with torn fresh basil leaves.
  • Serve the lobster bucatini immediately, and savor the delightful combination of flavors with the added kick of chili, the sweetness of corn, and the aromatic basil.
