Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 tails 2 lobster tails (about 8 ounces each)
  • 8 ounces 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
  • 1 cup 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated for best flavor
  • 2 tablespoons 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: red pepper flakes for a kick

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your fettuccine and cook according to package directions until al dente (usually about 8–10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  2. While your pasta is cooking, bring a small pot of water to a boil and add the lobster tails. Boil for about 5–7 minutes or until the shells turn bright red and the meat is opaque. Remove the lobster from the pot, let it cool slightly, then carefully extract the meat from the tails and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Making the Alfredo Sauce
  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Add in the minced garlic, sautéing it for about a minute until it's fragrant (but be careful not to burn it!).
  2. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently to combine. Allow it to simmer for 2–3 minutes before adding the Parmesan cheese, whisking it together until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combining and Serving
  1. Add the cooked fettuccine and lobster pieces to the skillet, tossing everything together until the pasta is coated in the sauce. If it seems a bit thick, feel free to add a splash of pasta water to loosen it up.
  2. Plate the pasta and garnish with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you’re feeling adventurous. Voila! You've just mastered Lobster Alfredo Pasta!

Notes

Don't skip the cheese! Freshly grated Parmesan is key for that restaurant-quality taste. If you're on a tight schedule, you may use pre-cooked lobster meat. Reheat gently before adding. If your sauce looks a little lumpy, just keep stirring, and it will come together beautifully.
