Creamy Lobster Alfredo Pasta 

Creamy Lobster Alfredo Pasta 🦞🍝
Serves: 2–3
Time: ~30 minutes
Ingredients
8 oz fettuccine or linguine pasta
2 lobster tails (or 1 cup cooked lobster meat), chopped
2 tbsp butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional: chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon for finishing
Instructions

  • Cook the pasta
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
    Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
    Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain.
  • Prepare the lobster
    If using lobster tails:
    Cut shells lengthwise, remove meat, and chop into bite-size pieces.
    If already cooked lobster meat: simply chop and set aside.
  • Make the Alfredo sauce
    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
    Add garlic and sauté 30–45 seconds until fragrant (don’t brown it).
    Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
    Cook 3–4 minutes, stirring, until slightly thickened.
  • Add lobster
    Add lobster meat to the sauce.
    Cook 3–5 minutes, just until lobster is opaque and tender. (If lobster is already cooked, only heat for 1–2 minutes.)
  • Finish the pasta
    Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
    Add drained pasta and toss to coat.
    Loosen sauce with a splash of reserved pasta water if needed.
    Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve
    Remove from heat.
    Garnish with parsley or a small squeeze of lemon if you like.
    Tips for a “fancy” finish
    Use freshly grated Parmesan—it melts better.
    Keep the heat gentle so the cream doesn’t separate.
    Serve immediately for the creamiest texture.
