PASTA FONTINA WITH LOBSTER

Pasta Fontina with Lobster image

This pasta dish is velvety and creamy, unlike any Alfredo. It is an excellent base for a plethora of add-ons like shrimp, grilled chicken, lobster, et al. Easy to make and oh-so impressive a dish. Garnish with a lemon wheel and a sprig of cilantro.
