VOKDA SAUCE WITH LOBSTER

 VODKA SAUCE

INGREDIENTS:

1/4 CUP OLIVE OIL, 2 TBS BUTTER, 1 DICED SHALLOT, 6 CHOPPED GARLIC CLOVES, 6 OUNCE TOMATO PASTE, 2/3 CUP VODKA, 1/2 CUP HEAVY CREAM, 1/2 CUP PARMESAN CHEESE, 1/2 TSP SALT AND PEPPER, 35 OUNCE CAN WHOLE TOMATOES BROKEN INTO SMALL PIECES., 1/2 CUP CHICKEN STOCK

OPTIONAL ADD ONS: PASTA & LOBSTER TAILS 

IF YOU WANT IT SPICY, ADD 1 TSP CRUSHED RED PEPPER.

GARNISH: LOTS OF FRESH BASIL, CRISPY PROSCIUTTO

SAUTE THE SHALLOT AND GARLIC IN THE BUTTER AND OIL, ADD EVERYTHING ELSE AND SIMMER FOR A HALF HOUR STIRRING OFTEN. THEN I PUT THE CHOPPED LOBSTER MEAT INTO TO THE SAUCE AND SIMMERED ON LOW FOR AN ADDITIONAL 20 MINUTES.

I BAKED PROSCIUTTO IN THE OVEN UNTIL CRISPY, CHOPPED IT UP AND SET IT ASIDE UNTIL THE END. 

I TOOK LOBSTER TAILS OUT OF THE SHELL AND BOILED THE SHELLS IN A BIG POT OF WATER WITH 1 TBS SALT FOR 2O MINUTES TO GET THE FLAVOR IN THE WATER AND THEN BOILED MY PASTA IN THAT LOBTER WATER.

ANY PASTA WILL DO. I USED FRESH BUCATINI

GARNISH WITH PROSCIUTTO AND BASIL AND EVEN SOME MORE FRESHLY SHAVED PARMESAN CHEESE
