Print Recipe

Lobster Alfredo Pasta is a rich and creamy dish combining tender lobster meat and velvety Alfredo sauce with fettuccine or linguine pasta. This indulgent yet simple recipe delivers a luxurious seafood dinner perfect for special occasions or comforting nights in.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Fresh lobster meat (cooked lobster tails or claw meat) – 1 ½ cups
  • Fettuccine or linguine pasta – 12 ounces
  • Heavy cream – 1 cup
  • Butter – 4 tablespoons
  • Garlic cloves – 3, minced
  • Parmesan cheese, freshly grated – 1 cup
  • Salt – to taste
  • Black pepper – to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped – 2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pasta: Cook the fettuccine or linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving one cup of the pasta water, and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté gently until fragrant and golden, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Make the Alfredo Sauce: Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and simmer gently. Gradually add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency.
  4. Add the Lobster: Carefully fold in the chunks of cooked lobster meat. Warm through gently without overcooking. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Toss the cooked pasta with the lobster Alfredo sauce. Use the reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce and help it coat the noodles evenly.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese. Serve warm immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use high-quality fresh lobster and real Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.
  • Avoid overcooking the lobster; add it at the end to keep it tender and juicy.
  • Reserve pasta water as its starchiness helps loosen the sauce and coat the pasta perfectly.
  • Make the sauce on low heat to prevent the cream from boiling and curdling.
  • Freshly grate Parmesan cheese rather than using pre-grated for smoother melting and richer flavor.
