Ingredients
Scale
Lobster
- 1 lb fresh or frozen lobster
Pasta
- 8 oz fettuccine or linguine
Alfredo Sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add your fettuccine or linguine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water for later.
- Prepare the Lobster: If using fresh lobster, cook it in boiling water for about 5-7 minutes until it turns bright red. Allow it to cool, then remove the meat from the shell and chop it into bite-sized pieces. If using pre-cooked lobster, simply chop it and set aside.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked pasta and lobster to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss everything together until well coated. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
- Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your luxurious Lobster Alfredo Pasta!
Notes
- Use the freshest lobster and high-quality Parmesan for the best flavor.
- Be careful not to overcook the pasta; it should be al dente for the best texture.
- When making the Alfredo sauce, whisk continuously to prevent the cream from scorching.
- Don’t hesitate to add more pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
- This dish is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it right after cooking for optimal flavors.
