Sauce

1 1/2 pounds lobster shells
1 shallot
1 stick celery, split
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 sprigs thyme
2 bay leaves
3 ounces brandy

Directions: In a sauce pot, mix and then simmer all sauce ingredients for 10 minutes at low heat and strain. In a second sauce pot, combine the cooked pasta, lobster, sauce, and provolone (pasta and sauce should be warm). Pour into greased casserole. Top with panko, parmesan, sliced truffles, and truffle oil. Bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes. (Broil for a few minutes if you like a crunchy top.)
