The weather is getting warmer and I have decided to come out of hibernation, but before I declare it swimming weather, I decided it might be a good idea to put down the pasta and try something a little lighter. Living in New England there is never a shortage of fish, so I decided to…

Fettuccine with Champagne and Lobster Cream Sauce
Sometimes you just want something super fancy and extra decadent…Champagne and lobster will help you achieve that!!
