Ingredients

• 400 grams Linguine pasta
• 2 medium-sized Lobster tails
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 large Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 whole lemon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0 Parmigiano-Reggiano (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.

Step 2

Using kitchen shears, carefully cut along the top shell of each lobster tail and remove the meat. Chop the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter until melted. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped lobster meat to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is opaque and cooked through. Remove the lobster from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir until the butter is melted and the sauce is well combined.

Step 6

Return the cooked lobster to the skillet, then add the drained linguine. Toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. If the pasta seems dry, add a few tablespoons of reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 7

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then stir in the chopped parsley.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano if desired.
