Ingredients
  

Pasta
  • 12 oz linguine pasta
Lobster and Sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese plus extra for serving
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine optional, for deglazing
  • 2 cups cooked lobster meat cut into chunks
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
To Finish
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Skillet or sauté pan
  • Tongs
  • Colander

Method
 

  1. Cook linguine in salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the white wine (if using) and simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Whisk until smooth and slightly thickened, about 3–5 minutes.
  5. Add the lobster meat and toss gently to coat. Season with salt and black pepper.
  6. Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.
  7. Finish with lemon juice and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan on top.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or swap half the cream for mascarpone cheese. Use freshly cooked lobster tails for the best texture and sweetness.
