SPICY LOBSTER QUINOA PASTA - GLUTEN FREE

INGREDIENTS:

1 TBSP of Olive Oil
1 Medium Onion (chopped)
5 Cloves of Garlic (minced) - you will need to split 3/5 cloves for the sauce
1 TSP of Chili Flakes
1 TSP of Dried Basil
1 TSP of Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Bottle of Tomato Pomodoro (strained tomato sauce)
1 TSP of Butter
6 Lobster Tails (thawed 4 chopped up 2 left whole)
1 Pack of Quinoa Pasta

DIRECTIONS:

Add oil to a sauce pan and heat up on medium heat. Add in your onion and 3 cloves of garlic and let them sweat.

Add in chili flakes, basil, oregano and salt and pepper. Stir around and let evenly mix

Once onions are garlic are nicely cooked add in your bottle of pomodoro tomato sauce, reduce heat to low and set aside to simmer.

Start to boil your water for the pasta.

Salt and pepper your chopped lobster bits lightly

In another skillet add in your butter and let melt on medium -low heat. Add in the remaining garlic and allow to season the butter for a second until you add in the chopped lobster bits.

Once the lobster bits are cooked through (apx 4-5minutes) then add cook lobster bits to the tomato sauce. Stir lobster into the tomato sauce and leave to continue to simmer

When the water is boiling add 1 TSP of salt to the water before adding in your quinoa pasta. You need to stir quinoa pasta for the first two minutes so that it doesn't stick together then let it continue to cook for an addition 10 minutes before it is al dente.

In another pan we are going to add in 1 cup of water and steam the remaining two lobster tails for 3-4 minutes. One ready remove lobster tails from water and set aside.

One ready dump pasta water and add pasta to sauce. Mix in and plate hot. Top with full steamed lobster tail and serve. ENJOY
