Report
Lightly spicy, sweet, and packed with flavor from onion, garlic, and plum tomatoes - this lobster pasta in busara sauce is just like my favorite Venetian dish!

Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and sauté garlic, onion, and red pepper flakes until fragrant.
- Flip lobsters over on a cutting board, and using a heavy, sharp knife, quickly and firmly cut between the lobster's eyes. It might move a bit after, but this is the least painful way to prepare a live lobster. Cut the lobster in half, lengthwise. Clean out any fat (the grey-green gunk), but leave black "goo" - as it is just uncooked roe that will turn red when cooked. Add lobster to the pan - either in halves or you can cut into pieces, too.
- Pour in the white wine, diced tomatoes, and half of the parsley, and simmer the sauce until the tomatoes break down and the sauce thickens. If adding saffron, add a small pinch.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and additional chopped fresh parsley.
- While making the sauce, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
- Remove lobster from pan when meat is bright white and opaque, and the shell is bright red, and add pasta to pan. Toss to coat.
- Serve the cooked pasta topped with the lobster.
- Garnish with additional parsley and maybe a drizzle of olive oil.
