Description
An irresistible lobster pasta dish with a creamy, spicy twist, perfect for special nights or whenever you’re craving something luxurious and comforting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs lobster tails, cooked and chopped
- 12 oz fettuccine or linguine pasta
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta following the package directions until al dente. Drain and reserve one cup of the pasta water.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until aromatic.
- Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer gently for around 5 minutes until it begins to thicken. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until fully melted and smooth.
- Add the chopped lobster meat, season with salt and pepper, and let it heat through for a few minutes. If needed, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.
- Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce until well coated. Finish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
Avoid overcooking the lobster since it’s already cooked, you’re just reheating it in the sauce. Fresh Parmesan gives a much better flavor than pre-grated versions. A dash of white wine in the cream sauce adds an extra layer of depth.
