Description
A luxurious yet easy meal combining rich lobster meat with creamy pasta, perfect for special occasions or weeknight indulgence.
Ingredients
- 8 oz linguine or fettuccine
- 1 cup fresh lobster meat, cooked and chopped
- 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
- Prepare your ingredients: start by finely chopping the garlic and parsley.
- Cook the pasta: bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta, and cook until al dente, reserving 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- Sauté the garlic: in a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until bubbling, then add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute.
- Add cream and cheese: gradually stir in the heavy cream, then add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Adjust with reserved pasta water if too thick.
- Incorporate the lobster: gently fold in the cooked lobster meat and squeeze in the lemon juice, warming through on low heat.
- Combine pasta and serve: toss the drained pasta into the skillet, ensuring all strands are coated in the sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.
Notes
Use high-quality lobster meat for the best flavor. Avoid overcooking garlic to prevent bitterness.
