Giuseppe and his wife Paolina share their recipe for a couscous style pasta called 'frascatole' which is cooked in an almond and cinnamon flavoured lobster soup. It's a speciality of the Trapani region in Sicily. If you want to taste it for yourself, you will have to travel to the island of Marettimo and visit their restaurant, Il Veliero. To make it at home, if lobster is difficult to come by, try crayfish or large prawns/shrimp instead. In winter, cooks serve frascatole with broccoli instead of the lobster:
For the soup:
1 onion, 2 sticks of celery with leaves, one stick of cinnamon, 1 bay leaf, 4 garlic cloves crushed, 1 tablespoon of ground black pepper, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 litre of tomato passata, 4 heaped tablespoons of ground almonds, 1.5 litres of water or shellfish stock.
2 lobsters, halved.
