Method

Cooking

Boil the pasta according to package instructions until it's al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce, making sure it's well coated.
Top the pasta with butter-poached lobster and sprinkle with fresh basil. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, time the cooking of the pasta and the sauce to finish simultaneously. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat over low heat, adding a splash of cream if necessary.
