Ingredients:

• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• 3 onions, chopped
• 6 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup dry red wine
• 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh oregano, or 2 teaspoons dried
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Preparation:

Heat olive oil in very large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, then add onions and garlic. Saute 10 minutes until golden. Add tomatoes, wine, oregano, crushed pepper, salt, sugar, and ground pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes until flavors are blended and sauce is slightly thickened.

Meanwhile, remove meat from lobster tail and cut it into 1/2-inch pieces. (To pry meat out, cut away soft undercover with scissors and ease away meat from shell with your fingers.) Add lobster and shrimp to sauce and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes until just opaque.

Meanwhile, cook linguine according to package directions; drain and place in a large serving bowl. Toss at once with sauce and sprinkle with parsley.
