Directions
- Bring a stockpot filled with water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons salt and the olive oil to the water. Add the fusilli and cook according to package instructions for al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Combine the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste and 1/2 cup water in a large stockpot over low heat; stir well. Cook until hot, about 2 minutes, then stir in the onions, scallions, capers, minced garlic and sugar. Let simmer until the ingredients start to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the oregano, cilantro, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, seasoned salt, black pepper and sliced garlic. Raise the heat to a low boil and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Add the lobster and cook just warm through, about 5 minutes.
