Lobster Alfredo Pasta Delight

How to Make Lobster Alfredo Pasta

Cook the pasta: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, cook pasta until al dente, and reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining.
Prepare lobster: If not pre-cooked, steam or boil lobster tails for 6–8 minutes until opaque. Remove meat and chop into bite-sized pieces.
Make Alfredo sauce: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream, then simmer 2–3 minutes.
Add cheese: Slowly whisk in Parmesan until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Toss it all together: Add pasta to sauce, tossing well. Add a splash of pasta water if needed for silkiness. Gently fold in lobster pieces.
Finish & serve: Squeeze in lemon juice, sprinkle parsley, and serve hot.

What to Serve With Lobster Alfredo

Garlic bread (because soaking up the sauce is a must!)
A crisp green salad with lemon vinaigrette
Steamed asparagus or roasted broccoli
A chilled glass of Chardonnay or sparkling water with lemon

Tips for Success

Use fresh lobster for the sweetest flavor.
Grate your own Parmesan—pre-shredded doesn’t melt as smoothly.
Don’t overcook the lobster! Keep it tender and juicy.
Reserve pasta water—it’s the magic ingredient for a glossy, clingy sauce.

Storage Instructions

Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Reheat gently: Warm on the stovetop with a splash of cream or milk (avoid microwaving, which can make lobster rubbery).
Freezing not recommended—cream sauce tends to separate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen lobster tails?
Yes, just thaw overnight in the fridge before cooking.

Can I make it ahead of time?
You can prep the sauce and lobster earlier, but toss with pasta just before serving.

What pasta works best?
Fettuccine is classic, but linguine or tagliatelle are also wonderful.
