  • 6 oz cooked lobster meat Chopped into bite-sized pieces
Sauce Ingredients
  • 2 oz butter
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1-2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley Fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoons dry white wine Or reserved pasta water as a substitute

Method
 

Cooking Pasta
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions until al dente.
  2. Reserve a bit of pasta water before draining.
Making the Sauce
  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter with olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  3. Stir in chopped parsley and cook for about one minute.
  4. Raise the heat to medium-high, add the cooked lobster meat, and stir gently.
  5. Pour in white wine (or pasta water) and let it warm through for about one minute before turning off the heat.
Combining and Serving
  1. Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss gently to coat, adding reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
  2. Reheat briefly over low heat if needed, then finish with black pepper, more parsley, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
  3. Serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of water over low heat. You can prepare the sauce ahead of time and warm it when ready to add the pasta.
