  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 lb lobster meat, cooked and chopped Fresh or frozen, thawed

Cooking the Pasta

Making the Sauce
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until onions are translucent.
  2. Add the diced tomatoes (with juices) and red pepper flakes; simmer for 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the heavy cream and lobster meat; cook for another 3-5 minutes until heated through.
  4. Toss in the cooked pasta; season with salt and pepper.

Notes

Timing is key: Don’t let the pasta overcook! For a vegan twist, swap the heavy cream for coconut cream and the lobster for mushrooms. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3-4 days. Reheat gently and add a splash of milk or reserved pasta water for creaminess.
