Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 8 ounces dry fettuccine or linguine

Lobster and Sauce

  • 2 pieces lobster tails or 1 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter option)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (fresh preferred)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup baby spinach (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Extra Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook Pasta: Fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a boil. Add the fettuccine or linguine and cook until al dente, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
  2. Sauté Lobster and Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the chopped lobster and minced garlic, sautéing for 2 to 3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the lobster is heated through.
  3. Prepare Alfredo Sauce: Lower the heat to medium-low. Pour in the heavy cream and add the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir gently, allowing the sauce to simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until it thickens and becomes creamy.
  4. Add Spinach and Combine: If using baby spinach, add it to the skillet along with the drained pasta. Toss everything together carefully to ensure the pasta is fully coated with the creamy sauce and the spinach wilts.
  5. Season the Dish: Taste the pasta and add salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and lemon juice if desired, adjusting the flavors to your preference.
  6. Serve: Serve the creamy lobster Alfredo pasta hot, topped with extra lobster pieces, additional Parmesan cheese, and freshly cracked black pepper for an added touch of indulgence.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese enhances the flavor and texture of the sauce dramatically.
  • Baby spinach is optional but adds a nice color and nutritional boost.
  • Ensure not to overcook the lobster to keep it tender and juicy.
  • Add lemon juice carefully to balance richness and add brightness to the dish.
