Creamy Lobster Alfredo Pasta Recipe
Ingredients (4 servings)
12 oz fettuccine (or linguine)
2 lobster tails (about 8 oz each), meat chopped into bite-sized pieces
3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
1 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup grated Romano cheese (optional, for richer flavor)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
1. Cook Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta until al dente.
Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain.
2. Cook Lobster
In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp butter + olive oil over medium heat.
Add lobster meat, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook for 3–4 minutes until just opaque. Remove and set aside.
3. Make Alfredo Sauce
In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter.
Add garlic and sauté 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in heavy cream and milk, bringing to a gentle simmer.
Stir in Parmesan (and Romano, if using), whisking until smooth and creamy.
Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if desired).
4. Combine
Add pasta into the sauce, tossing to coat. If sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time.
Gently fold in the lobster meat.
5. Serve
Plate pasta, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges for brightness.
