ingredients
1/2 cup champagne
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
1/2 pound cooked lobster meat
1/4 pound spinach fettucine, cooked, cooled, and oiled
2 tablespoons chopped chives
salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
directions
Begin reducing the champagne and the vanilla bean in a non-reactive sauce pan until almost dry (about 2 tablespoons). Add the cream and boil for 2 minutes.
Using a whisk, gradually incorporate the butter, and season with salt and pepper. Remove the vanilla bean, and add the lobster and stir constantly until it is heated through, remove from the heat.
Dip the cooked pasta in the hot water bath for 30 seconds, drain, and place in a mixing bowl. Pour the sauce over the pasta and toss with 1 tablespoon of the chives. Adjust the seasonings and present in a shallow bowl garnished with the remaining chives.

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.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

I made this for my wife for our anniversary. It was so good I think she'll keep me around for another year. We were so excited to eat it we forgot to take a photo.
