Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

ingredients
1 pound linguini pasta
2 whole lobsters cooked with meat removed
10 medium sized shrimp
1/2 cup white wine
2 shallots, finely chopped
2 cups basic tomato sauce, homemade or canned
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh oregano
3 teaspoons fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper (or to taste!)
1/2 cup clam juice
salt and pepper, to taste
directions
Bring a big pot of water to boil and cook linguini until al dente. At the same time, heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Saute the shallots and garlic until translucent about 5 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, white wine, and clam juice. Stir to blend all the ingredients.
Season with oregano, basil and crushed red pepper.
Reduce heat, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Add the lobster and shrimp and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the shrimp are no longer translucent but white and opaque.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. When the pasta is done, make a bed of pasta on each plate, add a piece of lobster along with a few shrimp and top with sauce.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

This recipe is VERY good if you make one modification. 1 Tablespoon of crushed red pepper is ALOT. I had to add extra tomato sauce, wine, and clan juice to mellow it out a little. I haven't had good Fra Diablo in some time, but after makeing some extra sauce it was very tasteful, but STILL very hot. I actually have 2 large rock lobster tails which I used. I would recommend the following change. 1 tea spoon crushed red pepper instead of 1 tablespoon. This is STILL quite hot, but let you taste the herbs very much. Me and my fiance were both sweating after we ate, but both agreed it was very very good.
