Ingredients

  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta

  • 2 lobster tails

  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream

  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  • Prepare the lobster tails by cutting the shells lengthwise and removing the meat. Chop the lobster into bite-sized pieces.

  • Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

  • Add the lobster pieces and cook for 3–4 minutes until opaque and just cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  • In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter and add the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  • Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

  • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue stirring until the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thickened.

  • Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

  • Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss until fully coated in the creamy Alfredo sauce.

  • Return the cooked lobster to the pan and gently mix to combine.

  • Garnish with chopped parsley and red pepper flakes if desired.

  • Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.Avoid overcooking lobster, as it can become tough.Add a splash of pasta water if the sauce becomes too thick.Spinach, mushrooms, or asparagus can be added for extra flavor and texture.This dish is best enjoyed fresh for the creamiest texture.
