Lobster Pasta

Lobster pasta is a delicious and indulgent dish that combines the rich flavors of lobster with pasta and a creamy sauce. Here’s a simple lobster pasta recipe for you to try at home:

Ingredients:

• 2 live lobsters (about 1.5 to 2 pounds each)
• 8 ounces of fettuccine or your choice of pasta
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chicken or seafood broth
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Red pepper flakes (optional for a bit of heat)
• Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Lobster:
   • Start by boiling a large pot of water. Once it’s boiling, add a pinch of salt. Carefully add the live lobsters to the pot and boil for about 7-10 minutes per pound. For 1.5-2-pound lobsters, this should take 10-15 minutes. When they turn bright red and the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C), they’re done.
2. Cook the Pasta:
   • While the lobsters are cooking, boil a separate pot of water and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until it’s al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Prepare the Lobster Meat:
   • Once the lobsters are cooked, remove them from the pot and let them cool slightly. Then, crack the shells and remove the meat. Chop the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
4. Make the Creamy Sauce:
   • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
   • Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for a couple of minutes until it reduces by half.
   • Add the heavy cream and chicken or seafood broth. Stir and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
   • Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Adjust the seasonings to your taste.
5. Combine the Lobster and Pasta:
   • Add the chopped lobster meat to the skillet with the sauce and cook for a few minutes until the lobster is heated through.
   • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss it together with the lobster and sauce. Allow it to cook for another minute or two, so the pasta absorbs the flavors of the sauce.
6. Finish and Serve:
   • Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the pasta and stir it in.
   • Plate the lobster pasta, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese, and serve hot.

Enjoy your decadent lobster pasta as a special treat or on a special occasion. It’s sure to impress your family and guests with its rich and savory flavors!
