Description

A rich and creamy buttered lobster pasta that brings memories of coastal retreats and family gatherings, perfect for a delightful dinner.


Ingredients

  • 8 oz linguine or fettuccine
  • 1 cup fresh lobster meat, cooked
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Boil salted water in a large pot. Add your pasta and cook until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water before draining.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until bubbly. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Gradually stir in the heavy cream, mixing continuously. Add Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Adjust the thickness with the reserved pasta water if needed.
  4. Gently fold in the cooked lobster and squeeze lemon juice into the sauce, warming through on low heat.
  5. Toss the drained pasta into the skillet, ensuring all strands are coated in sauce. Garnish with parsley before serving hot.

Notes

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is recommended for better melting.
