This Recipes Combines Two Of My Favorites. Pasta and Lobster!
Summer is in full swing! We’re still traveling to different countries and regions through delicious food and wine. If we’re not actually traveling, this is definitely the next best thing.
Which Wine is Perfect For Summer Entertaining?
Bolla wine is the perfect wine to pair with many amazing foods! Bolla Pinot Grigio has a pale straw color with an amazing crisp and a lively taste of fruits, which makes this dry wine infinitely satisfying.
Bolla wine is sourced from vineyards in the Veneto region of Northern Italy. There are many popular dishes that are made in Venice. One is Spaghetti with Lobster. It pairs perfectly with the wine!
How is the Spaghetti and Lobster Made?
Start with boiling the pasta to al dente. I used thick spaghetti due to preference, but you can also use regular or thin.
Cut up 2 lobster tails and split the 3rd in half, and sauté in olive oil. I like to have whole halves of lobster to go on top of the dish as a garnish. Chopping all three tails works well too. Add shrimp stock to the lobster tails and cook until the stock is reduced. You can use any type of stock that you want to. Vegetable stock works well too.
Make the sauce by adding chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook until the tomatoes start to break down. Add the tomato purée and chopped basil. Cook until everything is incorporated.
Toss with pasta and Lobster and serve! Definitely a winning dish!
So, this Summer, pair your delicious food creations with Bolla Wine too.
