Uni Lobster Spaghetti

Prep time: 30 MinCook time: 30 MinTotal time: 1 Hour

Episode 6 of our cozy Sunday Dinner series is a creamy uni lobster spaghetti with garlicky bread crumbs that truly tastes like adult mac and cheese (in the best way possible). The uni is subtle but adds and nice seafood flavor and the lobster is just perfect. Hope you try this and let us know in the comments what you think!

Ingredients

• 2-4 whole lobsters or chopped lobster meat (we ordered from Get Maine Lobster), chopped into 1 inch pieces
• 1 small package of uni (pick up from a local seafood or Japanese market, we ordered from Yama Seafood) - add at your leisure, the more uni the more your sauce will taste like the sea
• 5 tbsp butter
• 5 cloves garlic, grated
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 mascarpone cheese
