CREAMY LOBSTER AND CORN PAPPARDELLE
The tender chunks of lobster paired with a rich tarragon and chive cream sauce and sweet corn may make this pasta dish decadent, but those ingredients don't have to break the bank. I often take advantage of when lobster tails are on sale at my grocery store, and I stock up then to make this pasta.

Steps:
- Fill a bowl with ice and water. Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil. Place the lobster, head first, into the water. Boil until the lobster is bright red, about 12 minutes. Plunge the lobster into the ice water to stop cooking. Remove the lobster meat from the claws and tail. Coarsely chop into bite-size pieces, and set aside.
- Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package directions. Drain, set aside and keep warm.
- While the pasta cooks, make the sauce. Melt the butter in the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn and cook until it begins to brown, about 7 minutes. Add the shallot, celery, and garlic and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, 2 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and cook until the sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cheese, chives, and tarragon and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the pasta and lobster and toss well to coat. Divide the pasta between serving bowls and garnish with additional tarragon and chives, if desired.
