   Will hold @ 5 minutes", "To Serve Open up and eat from parchment, if you are the type of person who must have grated cheese with pasta, pecorino would be better than parmigiano (pic 8)", "I imagine this would be sublime with shelled lobster (poached lightly, ahead of time) or crab or all three. If you wanted to go completely mad you could make a lobster or shrimp butter and use that in place of regular old butter. James Patterson's Sauces book has an excellent though time consuming recipe for Lobster butter. If you want to make it a bit more Frenchified you could substitute equal amounts tarragon & chive for the parsley and a concasse of tomato wouldn't hurt either."]
