Lobster Pasta

Step 1

In a large stockpot, boil 4 to 5 quarts of water and cook the pasta according to package directions.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the lobster meat and cook until the meat has changed color, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the garlic and paprika, and sauté with the lobster meat for about 1 minute, just to soften the garlic.

Step 4

Pour in the heavy cream and grated parmesan and stir until the parmesan has melted into the sauce.

Step 5

Add the cooked pasta to the saucepan or skillet, along with ¼ cup of the starchy pasta water. Stir all together. Season with salt and pepper. Add more pasta water as needed to get the sauce to your desired consistency. Add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, stir, and taste; add more lemon juice if needed.

Step 6

Garnish with parsley just before serving.
