   * ½ lb. Raw Chunk Lobster Meat
   * 2-1/4 teaspoons soybutter
   * 1/4 large onion, chopped
   * 3/4 clove garlic, chopped
   * 1/4 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
   * 1 tablespoon olive oil
   * 1 teaspoon salt
   * 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

   * 1/4 cup tofutti cream
   * 4 ounces dried whole wheat spaghett
   * 1/4 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
   *1/4 bunch fresh basil, chopped

DIRECTIONS
  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of soybutter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and 3/4
clove of garlic. Cook and stir just 1 minute. Do not let them brown.

the lobster into the skillet with the onion and garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes.
  4. Bring a pot of water to a boil and season with a little salt. Add the spaghetti and cook for 6
minutes, or until tender.
  5. Add the tomatoes to the skillet and turn the heat up to high to bring to a boil. Add the olive oil,
salt, pepper and cinnamon. Cook, stirring constantly for 5 to 7 minutes. Slowly pour in the tofutti
cream, stirring constantly. The sauce will become a nice pink color. Turn the heat down to
