Lobster Tail with Capellini in Porcini Mushroom Broth Recipe
This is a variation of a dish done by an unbelievably talented French chef called Gerald Passedat. He is a master seafood cook and one helluva big Olympique de Marseille supporter. The flavorful porcini mushroom broth compliments the oven-roasted lobster tail.
