Cooking Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the tablespoon of salt.

    Add the linguine pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

    Drain Pasta

    Once cooked, drain the pasta and set aside, reserving a cup of the pasta water.

Preparing Lobster

  1. 4

    Cook Lobster

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil and place the lobster in. Boil for about 8-10 minutes until it turns bright red.

  2. 5

    Remove Lobster Meat

    Carefully remove the lobster from the pot and let it cool. Once cool, crack the shell and remove the lobster meat, then chop it into bite-sized pieces.

Making Creamy Sauce

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally.

    Gradually stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Season with black pepper to taste.

  4. 9

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked pasta and lobster meat to the sauce. Toss gently to coat everything in the creamy sauce. If needed, add reserved pasta water to adjust the consistency.
