Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook Spaghetti

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

  2. 2

    Cook Bacon

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until crispy. Remove bacon from skillet and crumble it into pieces.

  3. 3

    Sauté Garlic and Tomatoes

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add cherry tomatoes and cook until they start to soften.

  4. 4

    Make Cream Sauce

    Lower the heat and add the heavy cream to the skillet. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, and let it simmer for a couple of minutes until thickened. Add the lobster meat and peas, and stir gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Combine with Spaghetti

    Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet, tossing it in the lobster cream sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.

  6. 6

    Season and Serve

    Season with salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley to taste. Serve immediately.
