Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 8 oz (225 g) fettuccine or pasta of choice

Lobster and Vegetables

  • 1 lb (450 g) cooked lobster meat, chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta and reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water for later use. Set the pasta aside.
  2. Sauté garlic and spinach: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned. Then add the fresh spinach and cook until it wilts, stirring occasionally.
  3. Make the Alfredo sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese gradually, stirring well until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.
  4. Add lobster and pasta: Add the chopped cooked lobster meat and the drained pasta to the skillet. Gently toss everything together so that the pasta and lobster are evenly coated with the creamy Alfredo sauce.
  5. Season and serve: Season the dish with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and smooth sauce texture.
  • If fresh lobster isn’t available, you can substitute with frozen cooked lobster meat, thawed.
  • The reserved pasta water helps loosen the sauce if it becomes too thick.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream, but the sauce will be less rich.
  • Serve with a crisp green salad and crusty bread for a complete meal.
