Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz linguine pasta
- 8 oz pre-cooked lobster meat, roughly chopped
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 unit zest of 1 lemon
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and half of the reserved pasta water. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce slightly thickens.
Add the chopped lobster meat to the skillet and gently heat it through, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Toss the cooked linguine into the skillet, ensuring the pasta is coated evenly in the sauce. If the sauce feels too thick, add more of the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Finish by stirring in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and fresh parsley.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
