Creamy Lobster Pasta

live lobsters (about 1 1/2 pounds each) lobster meat

linguine

olive oil

unsalted butter, divided

shallot,

garlic cloves,

white wine

heavy cream

Parmesan cheese,

thyme

tarragon

red pepper flakes, optional

salt,

black pepper,

parsley

lemon

lemon juice

If using cooked lobster meat, simply chop it and set it aside.

If using live lobsters, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the lobsters and cook for about 8-10 minutes or until they are bright red. Remove the lobsters and let them cool on a wire rack. When cool, extract the meat from the claws, knuckles, and tails, chop into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.

Bring a pot of well-salted water to boil (use the lobster water for extra flavor, if possible). Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter has melted, add the shallot and sauté until soft, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Pour in the white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for a minute, then slowly add the heavy cream and stir well.

Add the Parmesan cheese in small handfuls, stirring well between each addition until melted. Mix in the thyme, tarragon, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Season with salt and pepper, bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce, tossing to coat well. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water and stir. Add more as needed until the desired consistency is reached.

Gently stir in the chopped lobster meat, remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

Cook until the lobster is heated through, about 2-3 minutes, and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Serve the pasta with additional Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Enjoy!
