Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Lobster Linguine
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Before draining, reserve about a cup of the pasta water, then drain the linguine and set aside in a warm bowl.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once melted and bubbling, add 3 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until golden and aromatic.
  3. Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, stirring gently to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer, allowing it to bubble softly for about 3-5 minutes. Gradually stir in ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese and juice of half a lemon.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup of cooked lobster meat into the cream sauce, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Add optional red pepper flakes, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce. If needed, stir in some reserved pasta water until creamy consistency is reached.
  6. Plate the Creamy Lobster Linguine in warmed bowls, generously coated in sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese. Serve hot.
