For Cavatelli:

• • 1 pound cavatelli pasta
  • 2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil2 Tablespoons Cannabis Infused Olive Oil
  • shallots, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup fish stock/broth
  • 8 ounces fresh or frozen peas*
  • 8 ounces gently sautéed asparagus
  • 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Parmesan cheese for garnish
  • 1/2 cup Mascarpone (8 ounces of full-fat cream cheese blended with 1/4 cup of heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of full-fat sour cream make a decent replacement for mascarpone.  Tip: don’t try to blend the ingredients when the cream cheese is stone cold! ) 
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • *If using fresh peas, simmer, uncovered, in salted water until just tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain, then immediately plunge peas into ice water to stop cooking. Drain again and pat dry. If using frozen peas, do not thaw before using.

TOOLS

• Large pot
• Heavy large saute pan
• Large bowl

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Bring large pot salted water to boil. Add cavatelli and boil until cavatelli float to surface, about 8 minutes.
2. Drain, then immediately plunge cavatelli into ice water to stop cooking.
3. Transfer to large bowl, add 1 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 Tablespoon Cannabis infused olive oil, toss to coat.
4. In heavy large sauté pan over moderate heat, heat remaining 2 tablespoons Cannabis infused olive oil until hot.
5. Add shallots and garlic and sauté until translucent, about 1 minute.
6. Add fish stock, peas, parsley, thyme, chives, pasta, Mascarpone, and lobster.
7. Stir to combine, then simmer until lobster is heated through, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, DO NOT OVER COOK!
8. Sprinkle with salt and parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

Note: Be sure to use a gram scale when using infused olive oil, potency always varies with each batch, however, WCM consistently tests ours at @ 9-8 mg THC/ gram.

Reminder: Foods prepared with infused olive oil can provide long-lasting, effective relief for many conditions and symptoms. When medicating with edible products, remember that a little goes a long way and the effects can take up to an hour to be noticeable. Start with a very small portion (1-inch square brownie, for example, or one small cookie) and wait to feel the effects before ingesting more. Keep out of the reach of children and pets.
