lobster parpadelle


Posted by Picasa
yum, yum, yum!   i made lobster bisque for a client of mine and had just a little bit of lobster left over (lucky me!).  this was one of those nights that we either had to eat out or get very creative.  my vote is to always eat in and make due.  and that's what we did.  i had some sweet potato parpadelle in my pantry, some peas in the freezer, and a few red potatoes lingering around.  i also had about a cup of the lobster bisque i had made.  starting to sound like a tasty meal, isn't it?  instead of making a sauce for the pasta, i just used the bisque as the base.  in a skillet, i added the bisque, a handful of frozen peas and a few of the lobster pieces and cooked for about 5 minutes - just for everything to warm through.  once the pasta was done, (which i had added a few diced potatoes to the boiling water) i added the lobster mixture and dinner was served!  it was fantastic.  i love those quick go to meals.  next time you think you need to go out to dinner due to lack of groceries in your house.  stop and asses.  you will be surprised what you can come up with, and how good it will be.
