Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine or linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Lobster Alfredo Sauce
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
3. Stir in the cooked lobster meat and cook for 1-2 minutes to warm through. Remove the lobster from the skillet and set aside.
4. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the heavy cream and milk to the skillet, whisking gently to combine.
5. Gradually stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and lemon zest.

Step 3: Combine and Serve
6. Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce, using tongs to coat the noodles evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
7. Gently fold the lobster meat into the pasta.
8. Transfer to serving plates and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use Fresh Lobster: Freshly cooked lobster meat gives the best flavor, but high-quality frozen lobster works too.
Don’t Overcook the Sauce: Keep the heat low when adding the cream and cheese to avoid curdling.
Customize the Dish: Swap lobster for shrimp, scallops, or chicken for a different take on this classic Alfredo.
