Ingredients
Scale
8 ounces of linguine or spaghetti pasta
1 pound of lobster meat (fresh or frozen, preferably tails)
4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup of freshly chopped parsley
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup of heavy cream (for a creamy texture, optional)
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant, being sure to avoid burning it.
To the garlic butter, add the lobster meat. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the lobster is heated through and just cooked, stirring frequently. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the lobster is ready, add the drained pasta to the skillet. Pour in the heavy cream (if using) and toss everything together. If the mixture seems dry, add some of the reserved pasta water until you reach the desired consistency.
Add the chopped parsley and lemon juice. Toss well to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Plate your garlic butter lobster pasta into bowls and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately while it’s warm and delectable.
