Ingredients
  

Pasta Ingredients
  • 8 oz pasta (preferably 100% durum wheat semolina, such as Di Martino)
  • 6 oz cooked lobster meat, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 oz butter
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons dry white wine (or reserved pasta water as a substitute)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • Optional: freshly ground black pepper, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Method
 

Cooking the Pasta
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve a bit of pasta water before draining.
Preparing the Lobster Sauce
  1. In a large skillet or cast iron pan, melt the butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant.
  2. Stir in chopped parsley and cook for about one minute.
Adding the Lobster
  1. Raise the heat to medium-high. Add the cooked lobster meat and stir gently to combine.
  2. Pour in white wine (or a splash of pasta water) and let it warm through for about one minute. Turn off the heat.
Combining with Pasta
  1. Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the lobster mixture. Toss gently to coat, adding a bit of reserved pasta water if the sauce seems too thick.
Final Touches and Serving
  1. Reheat briefly over low heat if needed—do not overcook.
  2. Finish with a sprinkle of black pepper, more parsley, and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

If you happen to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat with a splash of water or broth. Avoid the microwave to prevent rubbery pasta.
