At a recent lunch at Spago at MBS, I decided to have the Tagliatelle With Maine Lobster from the a la carte menu. It's a departure from my usual set lunch choice but I was very pleased to have tried something new.
The fresh, in-house made pasta was cooked al dente and had soaked in the flavours from the umami shellfish broth that was sweet from confit tomatoes and leeks. Rollicking around in the pasta were large chunks of bouncy, succulent lobster flesh - I love that it had been thoughtfully de-shelled for ease of eating. With saffron, garlic, parsley and chilli also used in the cooking, it's little wonder this boasts more flavour than your average pasta dish. Serving size was on the generous side as well.
