Ingredients
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 1 small yellow onion, peeled and sliced
  • 1 head garlic, top removed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 cups lobster bisque
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 10 ounces lobster meat, langostein tails, or rock shrimp pieces
  • 1 pound spaghetti, cooked according to the instructions on the package
  • ½ cup reserved pasta water
  • ¼ cup fresh chopped basil
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to broil on low and line a medium baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Place the tomatoes, onion slices, and garlic head on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle the veggies with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
  4. Place in the oven and broil for 10 to 15 minutes or until the veggies are nicely charred and the garlic is tender (if the garlic is not, wrap it in foil, and continue broiling).
  5. Transfer the tomatoes, onions, and any pan drippings to a large high-sided skillet. Set the garlic aside to rest.
  6. Add the bisque to the skillet, stir to combine with the veggies, and bring to a low simmer over medium heat.
  7. Once simmering, add the Parmesan and stir until combined and melted.
  8. Add the lobster meat to the skillet, stir to combine, and return to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the lobster meat has reheated.
  9. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet.
  10. Toss to coat the noodles in the sauce and continue to cook for a minute more or until the noodles have reheated. If the sauce gets too thick, use the reserved pasta water to thin.
  11. Divide the pasta between plates and top with roasted garlic cloves and chopped basil.
