Ingredients

  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta

  • 2 lobster tails, cooked and chopped

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream

  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • Salt, to taste

  • Black pepper, to taste

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook fettuccine until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain.

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil.

  • Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant (do not brown).

  • Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

  • Stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.

  • Add chopped lobster meat and cook for 2–3 minutes, just until heated through.

  • Toss cooked fettuccine into the sauce. Add reserved pasta water a little at a time if needed to loosen the sauce.

  • Finish with chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use freshly grated Parmesan for the smoothest sauce.Keep heat moderate to prevent sauce separation.Do not overcook lobster; it should be tender and opaque.A splash of pasta water helps create a silky, emulsified sauce.
