Ingredients

  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta

  • 2 lobster tails, cooked and chopped

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • Salt, to taste

  • Black pepper, to taste

  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

  • Lemon zest (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook fettuccine until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining.

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.

  • Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

  • Stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning if using.

  • Add cooked lobster pieces and gently warm through for 2–3 minutes.

  • Toss drained fettuccine with the sauce, adding reserved pasta water if needed to loosen.

  • Finish with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of lemon zest if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use freshly grated Parmesan for a creamier, smoother sauce.Avoid overcooking lobster; it should remain tender and opaque.Optional additions: spinach, asparagus, peas, or a splash of white wine for extra depth.For a lighter version, replace part of the heavy cream with half-and-half.Red pepper flakes add a subtle kick if desired.
