2-Boil salted water with the lobster head for stock, then cook spaghetti later in the same water.
3-In the saucepan, sauté shallots and garlic for 2 minutes, then deglaze with white wine until mostly absorbed.
4-Add cherry tomatoes and cook for 10 to 15 minutes until they burst and get jammy.
5-Remove the lobster head from the water and discard it before adding pasta.
6-Cook spaghetti until 2 minutes less than recommended, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.

🦞 Choose fresh or live lobster for best flavor and use the whole lobster for richer sauce.
🧈 Butter-poach the lobster slowly on low heat to prevent toughness.
🍅 Use fresh cherry tomatoes for bright flavor and a natural sweetness.
🍷 Select a dry white wine you’d enjoy drinking or substitute with lemon juice or extra pasta water.
🌿 Fresh parsley adds brightness but basil or dill can be used for a different flavor.
♨️ Reheat leftovers gently, avoid microwaving, and store refrigerated for up to one day.
