1 TSP, DIVIDED

Sugar 

½ TSP

Red Pepper Flakes

Directions

Step 1:

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Season generously with salt.

Step 2:

While the water comes to a boil, heat a large skillet with high side to a medium heat. Add butter to the skillet. Once the butter melts, add the cherry tomatoes. Let the tomatoes cook in the butter for five minutes without touching. After five minutes, give them a stir and add ½ teaspoon salt. When they start to burst at the seams, after another 2-3 minutes, use the back of a wooden spoon to smash them.

Step 3:

Add garlic, white wine, lemon juice, and remaining ½ teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer until reduced by half.

Step 4:

Stir in heavy cream, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. At this point, you can drop the pasta into the boiling water. Cook until just UNDER aldente.

Step 5:

When the pasta is cooked, use tongs to transfer the pasta and the cooked lobster to the sauce. Reserve starchy cooking liquid. Use tongs to toss everything together until lobster is hot and sauce has coated the noodles. If needed, add a little bit of starchy cooking liquid, ¼ cup at a time until you reach desired sauce consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
