Description

A luxurious and creamy pasta dish featuring fresh lobster, garlic, and butter, perfect for special occasions or a comforting meal.


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. Prepare your ingredients by finely chopping the garlic and parsley.
  2. Boil salted water in a large pot. Add your pasta and cook until al dente. Before draining, reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it bubbles. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream gradually, mixing continuously. Add the Parmesan cheese until it melts and blends smoothly. Adjust the thickness of the sauce with the reserved pasta water if necessary.
  5. Gently fold in the cooked lobster, then squeeze lemon juice into the sauce. Warm everything through on low heat.
  6. Toss the drained pasta into the skillet, ensuring that every strand is coated in that luxurious sauce. Garnish with parsley before serving hot.

Notes

For best results, use fresh lobster and adjust creaminess of the sauce as desired.
