Description
Indulge in a luxurious buttered lobster pasta, combining fresh lobster meat with a creamy sauce and perfectly cooked pasta for a memorable dining experience.
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
- Chop garlic and parsley finely to maximize flavor release.
- In a large pot, boil salted water. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter until it bubbles. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Gradually stir in the heavy cream, mixing continuously, followed by the Parmesan cheese. Allow the cheese to melt, creating a smooth sauce. If the sauce is too thick, adjust with the reserved pasta water.
- Gently fold in the cooked lobster and squeeze lemon juice into the sauce. Warm through on low heat, ensuring the lobster absorbs the sauce’s rich flavors.
- Toss the drained pasta into the skillet, coating each strand with the creamy sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving hot.
Notes
Use high-quality lobster meat and adjust lemon juice for balance. Consider adding seasonal vegetables for a healthy twist.
