Description
A luxurious seafood pasta featuring tender lobster in a rich Parmesan cream sauce, perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces pasta (linguine or fettuccine)
- 2 lobster tails, cooked and chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. While the pasta cooks, chop the cooked lobster tails into bite-sized pieces and mince the garlic.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden, about 30–60 seconds, taking care not to burn it.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese a little at a time until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of pasta cooking water to loosen it.
- Add the chopped lobster tails to the skillet and mix well to warm them through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, coating it evenly with the creamy lobster sauce. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
For a brighter flavor, consider adding lemon zest and extra parsley to the dish. If using frozen lobster, make sure to thaw them overnight in the refrigerator.
