Ingredients:
– 2 lobster tails
– 1/4 cup heavy cream
– 8 oz linguine or spaghetti
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 1/2 cup white wine
– 4 garlic cloves, minced
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
– Juice and zest of 1 lemon
– 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Cook the Pasta:
In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the linguine or spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Once done, drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Lobster:
In a large skillet, melt the butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté until they release a heavenly aroma (about 1-2 minutes). Add the lobster tails and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn a vibrant red and the meat is opaque. Remove from the heat, cut the lobster into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
3. Make the Sauce:
Pour white wine and fresh lemon juice into the same skillet, using a spatula to scrape up any tasty bits stuck to the bottom. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, mixing until the sauce slightly thickens.
4. Combine:
Add the lobster pieces back into the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Toss gently until everything is coated in the delicious sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh lemon zest for that extra zing.
5. Garnish and Serve:
Plate your tantalizing lobster pasta, then sprinkle fresh parsley over the top. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan and lemon wedges on the side for a touch of elegance!
