Lobster and Spaghetti
Method
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Lobster
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster and cook for about 8-10 minutes until the lobster is bright red and cooked through. Remove the lobster, let it cool, and then extract the meat, discarding the shell.
Cook the Spaghetti
In the same pot of boiling water, add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
Make the Sauce
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the cooked lobster meat and sauté for another 2 minutes.
Combine Ingredients
Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet. Pour in the lemon juice and a splash of reserved pasta water, mixing until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
