Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Add 1 finely chopped shallot and cook for about 2 minutes until translucent.
  2. In a large pot of salted water, bring to a rapid boil. Add 1 pound of potato gnocchi. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they float. Remove with a slotted spoon.
  3. With the shallots softened, add one 14.5-ounce can of diced tomatoes, 4 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper. Cook for 3 minutes.
  4. Pour in 1/4 cup of dry white wine, allow to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Gently stir in 3/4 to 1 pound of cooked lobster meat and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Simmer over medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan from heat and fold cooked gnocchi into the sauce, adjusting seasoning if needed.
  7. Stir in 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter until melted. Garnish with fresh chives and a squeeze of lemon if desired. Serve immediately.
