- If you are buying live lobsters, cook them first in boiling water for 5/6 minutes and chill in ice water (if you’re using frozen lobster, you can skip this step).

- To prepare the pasta sauce, place olive oil in a hot large pan and fry the prawns with garlic, chilli for 1 minute.
- Add the fish stock, passata sauce, cherry tomatoes and some seasoning, gently cook for 2/3 minutes and set aside.
- Heat the oven at 200C Fan and then warm up the Lobsters for 5-6 minutes and keep them Warm.
- Cook the Pasta in Salted Boiling Water (follow packet instructions) and then finish cooking the pasta in the prawn sauce for 30 seconds (you can add some of the cooking water if the sauce is too thick to loosen).
- Plate on the side of a warm plate and serve with half lobster and a sprinkle of chopped parsley and olive oil.
