Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 900g live lobster (see notes)
  • Ripped-up herbs or chopped vegetables (such as parsley, onion, fennel and carrot)
  • 20 cherry tomatoes
  • 4 handfuls of ripped-up basil, coriander and fennel fronds
  • 2 red chillies, seeds removed, finely chopped
  • Extra virgin olive oil, to taste
  • Lemon and lime juice, to taste
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 500g dried spaghetti

Instruction

  • Place lobster in a snug-sized pan of boiling, salted water with some ripped-up herbs or chopped vegies. As soon as the water starts to simmer again, turn off heat and let it cool for 1/2 hour. Squeeze pips from the tomatoes and set aside.
  • Crack open tail and claws of the lobster and remove meat. Save any juices and remove any splinters or shell. Chop meat into small, bite-sized pieces and put in a big bowl with any juices. Add herbs, fennel, chillies and tomatoes. Loosen to taste with the oil and some lemon and lime juice. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in plenty of boiling, salted water until al dente. Drain and toss with lobster. Put the bowl in the middle of the table and let everyone tuck in.
