Lobster Fra Diavolo - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 (1 1/2 to 2 lb.) lobsters
    1/2 c. olive oil
    1/2 c. chopped green pepper
    2 Tbsp. chopped fresh flat leafed parsley
    2 garlic cloves, chopped
    2 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil or 1 Tbsp. dried basil
    2 c. canned Italian-style plum tomatoes, chopped
    2 Tbsp. tomato paste
    1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper
    1 lb. linguini or thin spaghetti
Preparation
    Put all ingredients (except lobsters and pasta) in a large, nonreactive (not aluminum) pot and bring to a boil.
    Add lobsters (or precooked lobster meat) and simmer gently on very low heat for about 1 hour.
    Stir often, scraping the bottom of the pot.
    Sauce will be thick, light and have a delicate lobster taste.
    About 10 minutes before sauce is done, cook the pasta al dente.
    Drain quickly.
    Put pasta on hot plates.
    Pour some sauce over the pasta.
    Place split/quartered or lobster meat over the pasta and cover with more sauce.
    Enhance taste by sprinkling with grated Romano Pecorino cheese.
