Description

This Lobster Pasta is an elegant Italian-American seafood dish featuring tender lobster meat tossed with garlic, butter, white wine, cream, Parmesan cheese, and linguine. It delivers a creamy, flavorful sauce that perfectly complements the delicate lobster, making it a restaurant-quality meal that’s surprisingly easy to prepare at home.

Ingredients

Pasta

  • 12 ounces linguine

Lobster and Sauce

  • 2 lobster tails, cooked and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Cook the Linguine: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to the package directions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta cooking water before draining the pasta thoroughly.
  2. Prepare the Sauce Base: In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and hot. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Deglaze with White Wine: Pour in the dry white wine and let it simmer uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes to reduce slightly and concentrate the flavors.
  4. Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing continuously until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  5. Incorporate Lobster and Lemon: Add the chopped cooked lobster, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the skillet. Cook the mixture for 2 minutes to heat the lobster through and meld the flavors. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Toss Pasta with Sauce: Add the drained linguine to the skillet with the lobster cream sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time if the sauce needs loosening.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the pasta and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overcook the lobster to avoid tough meat.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best melting and flavor.
  • Serve this pasta with garlic bread and a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
