Lobster With a Kick
Luxury meets heat in this craveable seafood pasta
This Spicy Lobster Rigatoni builds bold flavor on a base of Barilla Rigatoni, perfectly al dente to hold the rich, heat-laced sauce. Developed by Kevin Felice, Director of Operations and Food/Beverage for 40North, a restaurant group based in Morristown, N.J., the dish pairs tender lobster with Calabrian chile, delivering a smoky, spicy undercurrent that helps reinforce its Italian provenance. A bright tarragon gremolata cuts through the richness, offering herbal lift and satisfying crunch. This build exemplifies high-impact simplicity, balancing both indulgence and intensity.
