Steps:
- Fill a large pot with 2 inches of water; bring to a boil. Add the lobsters, cover and cook over medium heat until the shells turn bright red, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove with tongs and rinse under cold water to cool slightly. Meanwhile, cut the kernels off the corn; reserve the cobs.
- Remove the meat from the lobster shells: Twist off the claws, then break off the tail; set the bodies aside. Pull the flippers off the tail, then insert your thumb into the flipper end and force out the meat. Crack the claws with a lobster cracker, mallet or the flat side of a knife and remove the meat. Chop the lobster meat into 1-inch pieces and transfer to a bowl; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Rinse the lobster bodies to remove any green matter (tomalley) and roe. Heat 2 tablespoons butter and the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the lobster bodies and cook, turning occasionally, until the butter starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the wine, bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the corn cobs, celery stalk, whole shallot, parsley sprigs and 6 cups water; bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced by about one-third, about 30 minutes. Strain the stock into a bowl or large measuring cup.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced shallot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and paprika; cook, stirring, until slightly darkened, about 1 minute. Stir in the prepared stock and cream and simmer until reduced by one-third, about 20 minutes (you should have 2 3/4 cups sauce). Add the corn kernels; simmer 5 more minutes.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pappardelle and cook as the label directs. Drain, then return to the pot. Add the sauce and the reserved lobster meat and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the lobster meat is heated through, about 1 minute. Stir in the chopped celery leaves and parsley and most of the chervil. Divide among plates and top with the remaining chervil.
CREAMY LOBSTER AND CORN PAPPARDELLE
The tender chunks of lobster paired with a rich tarragon and chive cream sauce and sweet corn may make this pasta dish decadent, but those ingredients don't have to break the bank. I often take advantage of when lobster tails are on sale at my grocery store, and I stock up then to make this pasta.

Steps:
- Fill a bowl with ice and water. Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil. Place the lobster, head first, into the water. Boil until the lobster is bright red, about 12 minutes. Plunge the lobster into the ice water to stop cooking. Remove the lobster meat from the claws and tail. Coarsely chop into bite-size pieces, and set aside.
- Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package directions. Drain, set aside and keep warm.
- While the pasta cooks, make the sauce. Melt the butter in the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn and cook until it begins to brown, about 7 minutes. Add the shallot, celery, and garlic and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, 2 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and cook until the sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cheese, chives, and tarragon and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the pasta and lobster and toss well to coat. Divide the pasta between serving bowls and garnish with additional tarragon and chives, if desired.

Steps:
- Bring a 6- to 8-quart pot of well-salted water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt, then stir together with vinegar, oil, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add tomatoes and stir gently, then set aside.
- Cook corn in boiling water until tender, 4-6 minutes, then remove with tongs and cool.
- While corn cools, peel lengthwise ribbons from 1 side of a zucchini with vegetable peeler into another bowl, stopping when you get to seedy core. Turn zucchini a quarter-turn, then peel more ribbons, stopping at core. Repeat on remaining 2 sides of zucchini (you will end up with rectangular-shaped cores). Reserve cores for another use (such as soup).
- Cut corn from cobs; add corn to tomatoes.
- Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Just before pasta is done, stir in zucchini ribbons and snap peas and cook 15 seconds. Drain pasta and vegetables together in a large colander and add to tomato mixture with onion (if using), then toss gently.
- Add herbs and toss gently again.
