Butter poached lobster tail, caramelized chanterelle mushrooms and fluffy, delicious pasta pillows stuffed with a creamy, sweet parsnip puree. Are you drooling yet?
If not, consider that the above culinary delights are all tossed in a cognac butter sauce made with lobster stock and lobster roe butter (though you could substitute chicken stock & plain butter) for even more lobster flavor.
You’ll likely have extra agnolotti to freeze or serve with another dish.
