What you’ll need:

 

1 x packet of spaghetti

Salt

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 large shallot, finely chopped

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

500gms of cherry tomatoes halved

500gms of cooked lobster meat

Freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

Lemon wedges (for serving)

 

Method:

 

Cook spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid.

 

Meanwhile, heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shallot and red pepper flakes, stirring often until shallot is softened, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring often, until tomatoes are soft and juicy, 5–8 minutes.

 

Add lobster meat to skillet and toss to coat. Add pasta and 1/2 cup reserved pasta cooking liquid; season with salt and pepper.

 

Cook, tossing constantly and adding more reserved pasta cooking liquid as needed until sauce thickens and coats pasta, about 2 minutes.

 

Serve pasta topped with lemon zest, with lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over.
