    If you would like to add an Italian twist to your lobster, then try making Jamie Oliver’s lobster spaghetti at home. Jamie Oliver’s lobster spaghetti pasta is a great take on the pasta dish and makes for a great seafood pasta recipe.

    One time, I was home alone and feeling really hungry. So, I checked what I had in the kitchen, and all I could find was lobster and spaghetti. Then I looked for recipes for lobster and spaghetti and found Jamie Oliver’s lobster spaghetti. When I made the recipe, it was delicious.

    The first step in making Jamie Oliver’s lobster spaghetti is to boil the lobster for 15-20 minutes. Now, cook spaghetti and, in the meantime, sauté onion and herbs. Then, add wine and let it evaporate. Next, add tomatoes to the wine. Finally, add the spaghetti to a wide baking pan and mix with the sauce. 

    Did you know that you can use spaghetti instead of ramen if needed? Here is a list of ramen noodle substitutes that you should know about. So without any further ado, follow the recipe with the detailed list of required equipment, ingredients, nutritional facts, and instructions.

    Expert Tips That I Recommend

    • Always choose fresh lobster for a rich stock and sauce flavor.
    • Make sure you season the water well, so that lobster and stock develop a good base flavor.
    • Strain the stock thoroughly through a mesh sieve before using it in the sauce to remove any shell fragments and herbs.
    • First, let the wine evaporate completely, then add the tomatoes. This helps remove the wine’s raw flavor.
    • Keep the spaghetti a little undercooked, as pasta absorbs the sauce while resting.

    Recipe Variation for Different Diets 

    • Keto Version: Swap spaghetti with zucchini noodles, onion with scallion greens, and replace sugar with monk fruit sweetener.
    • Gluten-Free Version: Swap spaghetti with gluten-free spaghetti made of corn.

    Storing And Reheating This Recipe 

    Storing

    • Let the pasta cool completely. Then add it to an airtight container along with sauces to keep it moist, and keep it in the refrigerator. Eat within 2-3 days for the best texture.

    Reheating 

    • Oven: First, preheat the oven to 320 degrees F. Then add the pasta to an oven-safe dish and cover it lightly with foil. Heat for 10-15 minutes.
    • Stovetop: Take a wide pan, add the pasta, and gently warm for 4-6 minutes. Keep checking it in between to prevent overheating, as it can affect the lobster’s texture.

    You can serve the Jamie Oliver Lobster Spaghetti Pasta with crusty garlic bread or dinner rolls. You can also enjoy it with a sip of a refreshing virgin mojito or any slushy drink of your choice, making it more versatile.

    Ingredients

    • 2 kg Lobster
    • 550 g Spaghetti
    • 1 Onion
    • A Few Thyme
    • A Few Basil
    • A Few Pepper Seeds
    • 1½ Teaspoons Sea Salt
    • 4 medium-sized Tomatoes
    • 2 cloves Garlic
    • ¼ Teaspoon Oregano
    • ¼ Teaspoon Sugar
    • 1 cup Olive Oil
    • 1 glass White Semi-Dry Wine
    • Salt
    • Ground Black Pepper
    • 30 g Dill

    Equipment

    • Casserole Dishes
    • Pan
    • Baking Pan
    • Knife
    • Wooden Spoon
    • Tongs

    Method

    • Take a casserole dish, fill it ¾ full with water, and add salt. Add the thyme, basil, and pepper. Bring the water to a boil, then add the lobster. Place the casserole dish over medium heat and boil the lobster for 15-20 minutes. Set the lobster aside and drain the stock. Keep some portion of the stock aside (about 1 ½ glasses) to use for the sauce.
    • Put the stock in a new casserole and boil it again. When the stock boils, add the spaghetti and cook for 7 minutes. Drain the spaghetti and keep it warm while you prepare the sauce.
    • In a deep, wide pan, add onion, thyme, basil, and sugar. Add oil and heat, stirring the onion and herbs. Cook until the onion gets slightly browned. Then pour in the wine.
    • Let the wine evaporate, then add the tomatoes to the pan. Now, sprinkle oregano and salt over this mixture. Also add the garlic.
    • Mix well and cook for about 4 minutes. Then, add the lobster stock and reduce the heat to low. If required, add half a glass of lukewarm water. Cook the sauce for nearly 20 minutes, until it thickens.
    • Put the spaghetti in a big wide baking pan and drizzle some olive oil, about 2-3 teaspoons, on top of it. Mix them and then add the sauce. Toss the sauce gently with the spaghetti using tongs. Let the pasta rest for about 5 minutes. Decorate it with dill and then serve.
