Growing Basil<br />
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add<br />
the lobster & cook until bright red.<br />
As soon as the lobster starts cooking,<br />
melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a<br />
large skillet over medium heat. Add<br />
the onion and 3 cloves of garlic and<br />
basil. Cook and stir just to release<br />
the liquid. Do not let them brown.<br />
When the lobster is done place it on<br />
a cutting board and use a big knife<br />
to cut it in half lengthwise. Place the<br />
halves meaty side down into the skillet<br />
with the onion and garlic. Cook<br />
for about 3 minutes.<br />
Bring another pot of water to a boil<br />
and season with a little salt. Add the<br />
spaghetti and cook for 8 minutes, or<br />
until tender.<br />
Add the tomatoes to the skillet bring<br />
to a boil. Add the olive oil, salt, pepper<br />
and cinnamon. Cook for about<br />
7 min. Slowly pour in the cream,<br />
stirring constantly. The sauce will<br />
become a nice pink color. Turn the<br />
heat down to medium-low.<br />
Drain the spaghetti. Stir in the remaining<br />
butter and garlic. Pour the<br />
tomato sauce over the spaghetti and<br />
arrange the two lobster halves in the<br />
center.<br />
