Ingredients

Scale

Seafood

  • 1 lb (450 g) cooked lobster meat, chopped

Pasta

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

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Vegetables & Seasonings

  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish

  • Chopped parsley or extra Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: Boil the pasta in salted water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside, reserving ½ cup of the pasta cooking water for later use.
  2. Cook the lobster: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped cooked lobster meat and sauté for 1–2 minutes until warmed through. Remove the lobster from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the Alfredo sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add cheese and spinach: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts smoothly into the sauce. Add the fresh spinach and cook until it wilts down. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce to your preferred consistency.
  5. Combine pasta and lobster: Return the cooked pasta and lobster to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss everything together gently to coat the pasta and lobster evenly with the sauce. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Serve: Plate the Lobster Alfredo immediately. Garnish with chopped parsley or additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency as needed for a smoother texture.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and melt quality.
  • Cook lobster just until heated through to avoid toughness.
  • You can substitute spinach with kale or arugula for a different flavor.
  • Serve with a crisp green salad or crusty bread to complement the richness of the dish.
