Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Gather all your ingredients for the Buttered Lobster Pasta. Mince the garlic finely and chop the parsley, setting them aside.
  2. In a large pot, fill with water and add a generous amount of salt. Bring to a boil, add pasta and cook until al dente (8-10 minutes). Reserve about a cup of starchy pasta water before draining.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt butter until bubbly. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in heavy cream while stirring to prevent bubbling. Gradually add Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the cream, creating a smooth sauce. Adjust with reserved pasta water if necessary.
  5. Gently fold in the cooked lobster meat and squeeze in lemon juice, mixing well on low heat for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Add the drained pasta to the skillet, toss everything together for a couple of minutes, ensuring each strand is coated in sauce. Garnish with parsley before serving.
