11-22-17 Angel Hair pasta with a creamy tomato-lobster sauce



So simple, but oh so good.



The inspiration for this dinner began when Patience pointed out that there was a healthy crop of Dill still in the porch garden.  Knowing it would be several days before we would run out of Thanksgiving leftovers I decided we needed pasta tonight.

INGREDIENTS:

1.     Angel hair pasta
2.     Onion and garlic
3.     Olive oil
4.     Del Monte diced tomatoes with basil and oregano
5.     Heavy whipping cream
6.     Basil and fresh dill
7.     Lobster meat (lump crab meat will also work.)

PROCESS:

Prepare the onion and garlic in olive oil, cooking until soft, then add the diced tomatoes and the basil. After 5-10 minutes blend the sauce in a food processor or use a hand held processor, then add the lobster and some fresh dill and continue cooking over low heat. Several minutes before the pasta is ready stir in the cream.
Mix the sauce with the pasta and garnish with fresh dill.

COMMENTS:

Patience and I both gave this a ten-plus plus-plus. The sauce was light, with a gentle sweetness that comes with the Del Monte tomatoes. Fortunately there was enough sauce left over so we will be enjoying this again in the not so distant future.
