Description
A rich and creamy pasta dish featuring succulent lobster meat, perfect for elevating your dinner experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces linguine or fettuccine
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup lobster meat, cooked and chopped
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Cook the linguine or fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Add the cooked lobster meat and red pepper flakes (if using) to the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the sauce, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the sauce after sautéing the garlic and let it reduce for a minute before adding the cream.
- You can substitute shrimp or crab for the lobster if desired, or add vegetables like spinach or cherry tomatoes for extra nutrition.
