Garlic Lobster Pasta
Nov 30, 2024 04:30 AM
I made this garlicky lobster pasta for my husband and it was amazing, if I do say so myself.
The other day, he randomly came home with two cooked lobsters. “Surprise!” he said. We love lobster but hardly ever buy it or eat it at home.
I have made lobster before, but it’s just not one of the things that comes to mind when we’re thinking of dinner. I don’t know why because it’s actually easy to cook and is super impressive and delicious.
This lobster pasta is essentially an aglio e olio with a secret ingredient. It’s loaded with pieces of lobster and finished with crunchy bread crumbs. The lobster is tossed in at the last minute, just to heat it through and get all those garlicky umami flavors on it without overwhelming the sweet flavor of the lobster meat. It comes together super quickly, like most pasta dishes. Grab some cooked lobster tails, and you have a quick, easy, impressive date night dish.
