Spaghetti with lobster

The Skyros’ lobsters are quite famous in Greece. According to this recipe, pasta is boiled “al dente” and then added in the same pan where the lobster was sautéed (the lobster is sautéed in a pan with onions, garlic, tomato, cognac, dill, salt and pepper). The fresher the lobster, the more delicious the result!

For this recipe, goat is baked in the oven accompanied with potatoes and vegetables. Another version of the famous Skyros’ goat dish is goat accompanied with lemon sauce and hand-made pasta. Both dishes are more than delicious!
