Lobster & Pesto Cream Pasta


2 COOKED WHOLE MAINE LOBSTER
1 CUP HEAVY CREAM
1 DICED TOMATO
1/4 CUP PREPARED PESTO (AVAILABLE AT MOST SUPERMARKETS)
1 LEMON, QUARTERED, FOR GARNISH
2 CUPS COOKED ANGEL HAIR PASTA
1 TBS. OLIVE OIL
1 TBS. FRESH CHOPPED BASIL


To cook lobster, cook in lightly salted boiling water for 7 minutes. Do not
over-cook, or lobster will be tough. When cool, remove and split the tail,
remove the claws and set aside. Discard remaining lobster.

In a heavy saucepan over medium high heat, add the olive oil and diced tomato
and cook for one minute. Add pesto and cook an additional 30 seconds. Add the
heavy cream and stir until mixture is reduced by 1/3. Add the hot angel hair
pasta and toss together to coat pasta.

Serve pasta topped with claws and tail. Garnish with lemon slices and chopped
basil.
