Gnocchi with Truffle Cream and Lobster

This is my favorite recipe for special occasions. I first tried the original at a restaurant in Boston called No. 9 Park, and this is a simpler variation of the recipe. I recommend making the gnocchi at home.

Medium
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil to cook the gnocchi.
  • While the water is heating, make the sauce. Start by bringing the cream to a boil in a small pot over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of truffle oil, basil, and season with salt and pepper. Boil until the cream has reduced to just 1 cup (about 10 minutes).
  • In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and cook the lobster pieces for 4-5 minutes. Add the peas and cook until the peas and lobster are well cooked.
  • Add the cream to the skillet and season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix and keep warm.
  • Cook the gnocchi in the boiling water. The gnocchi are ready when they float. Use a spoon to remove and plate the gnocchi that have floated.
  • Serve the gnocchi in 4 deep plates and with a ladle, cover with the truffle and lobster sauce.
