Instructions
Creating Lobster Pasta at home can be both exciting and gratifying. Follow these simple steps to ensure a perfect dish:
1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine or fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water.
2. Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add Tomatoes: Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, allowing them to soften and release their juices.
4. Deglaze with White Wine: Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half.
5. Make the Cream Sauce: Add the heavy cream to the skillet, stirring well. Allow it to bubble gently and thicken for about 2-3 minutes.
6. Add Lobster: Gently fold in the cooked lobster meat, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until heated through.
7. Combine with Pasta: Add the drained pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until you achieve your desired sauce consistency.
8. Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
By following these steps, you can create a dish that is not only beautiful but also delicious, bringing the luxury of restaurant-quality Lobster Pasta right into your home.
