Buttery Lobster and Parmesan Linguini

Buttery Lobster and Parmesan Linguini is one of our favorite seafood dinners. I start this lobster dinner by boiling some linguini. Then, I warmed the precooked lobster in a spicy garlic butter sauce. Finally, I tossed everything together with lots of Parmesan cheese. We like this lobster dinner for several reasons. First of all, I like that I can make this whole dish in just about twenty minutes. Secondly, I like that this linguini dish can be made ahead of time. It reheats great in the microwave oven. And, lastly, we all love the sweet lobster and the garlicky linguini.

The Equipment I Used

A Large Pot- Use a big pot to boil the linguini.
A Large Skillet- Use a large skillet to cook the lobster.

The Ingredients Needed for Buttery Lobster and Parmesan Linguini

Linguini- I always use Barilla linguini.
Salt- I like to use Diamond kosher salt to salt my pasta water. If you use a different brand, use less
Butter- Use unsalted butter. I always like to use Kerry Gold Irish butter.
Garlic- I like to buy the peeled cloves and store them in my freezer.
Lobster Meat- To save time, I like to buy the lobster that’s already shelled. If you buy whole lobsters probably two lobsters is enough.
Oil- Use extra virgin olive oil. I like the California Olive Ranch brand.

How I made my Lobster Linguini

First, I cooked the linguini. I made sure to salt my water well. Be sure to not overcook your linguini.
Then, I cooked the garlic in the butter. And, I added the lobster and cooked it just until it was warmed through.
Next, I mixed together the rest of the butter and the spices.
Finally, I mixed everything together in a large bowl.

Ingredients

6 quarts water
12 ounces linguini
7 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut in seven tablespoon pieces
2 tbsp. minced garlic
½ pound cooked lobster meat, cut in half inch pieces
5 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
½ tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. red pepper flakes
⅔ cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Bring the water to a boil in a large pot. When it reaches a boil add 9 teaspoons of the salt and the linguini. Cook the linguini until it is just al dente. The time for this should be on the pasta box.
While the linguini cooks, heat a large skillet over low heat with two tablespoons of butter. Add the garlic and lobster and cook until the lobster is just warmed through.
While the pasta and lobster cooks: In a large bowl, stir together the butter, oil, garlic powder, red pepper flakes and the last half teaspoon of the salt.
Add one tablespoon of the pasta water to the bowl and stir until combined. Drain the pasta well and add it to the bowl along with the lobster and cheese. Toss everything together until the pasta is completely coated in the butter mixture. Serve right away.
