Ingredients:
kosher salt |
good olive oil |
1 pound small pasta shells, such as ronzoni |
kernels from 8 ears of corn (about 6 cups) |
12 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced |
2 yellow or orange bell peppers, seeded and small-diced |
2 pints cherry tomatoes, halved |
2 pounds cooked fresh lobster meat, medium-diced |
1 1/2 cups good mayonnaise |
1 cup sour cream |
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (4 lemons) |
freshly ground black pepper |
1 1/2 cups minced fresh dill |
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons of salt and some olive oil. Add the pasta and cook it for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente. Add the corn to the pasta and cook it for another 2 minutes, until the corn is tender. Drain the pasta and corn together in a colander and pour them into a large mixing bowl. Add the scallions, diced pepper, tomatoes, and lobster, tossing gently to combine. Allow to cool slightly.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, 4 teaspoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper until smooth. Pour over the pasta and mix well to bind the ingredients. Stir in the dill. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for up to 6 hours to allow the flavors to develop. Check the seasonings and serve chilled or at room temperature.
