Ingredients 1 onion, quartered 1 carrot, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces 3 bay leaves 1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed 1 piece (1 inch long) fresh ginger, sliced Zest of 1 orange 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns 2 live lobsters (1 ¼ pounds each) Salt 8 ounces penne, or garganelli 1 Vidalia or other sweet onion 4 small zucchini (about 1 pound) 2 tablespoons minced garlic 4 ears corn, shaved from the cob 2 arugula, stems trimmed, chopped 2 tablespoons fresh marjoram leaves 1 ounce freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional) Olive-oil cooking spray Directions Fill sink with ice water. In a stockpot, combine onion, carrot, bay leaves, garlic, ginger, zest, and peppercorns with 8 cups water; cover and bring to a boil. Add lobsters, cover, and cook 8 minutes once water has returned to a boil. Remove lobsters, reserving the liquid; transfer to the ice bath. When lobsters are cool enough to handle, break tails and claws from body; crack open to remove meat. Set meat aside. Add bodies and empty shells to reserved liquid; return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 30 minutes. Drain through a fine sieve; discard solids. Return liquid to pot; cook over medium-high heat until reduced to 1 cup, about 45 minutes. Cut meat from lobster-tail and claw into bite-size pieces; set aside. Bring a 5-quart saucepan of salted water to a boil, and cook pasta until al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain in a colander, and set aside. Cut onion into 1/8-inch wedges; remove the core. Cut zucchini lengthwise into quarters and crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Heat a low-sided 6-quart saucepan coated with olive-oil cooking spray over medium-high heat until very hot. Add onion and garlic; reduce heat to medium low. Cook until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add zucchini; cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Add corn, reserved lobster meat, cooked pasta, reserved liquid, arugula, and marjoram; stir to combine. Stir in Parmesan, if desired; serve. Cook's Notes After removing the lobsters' tails and claw meat, use their empty shells to flavor this dish's broth. Rate it Print
