Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Gather all your ingredients. Mince the garlic finely and chop a handful of fresh parsley for garnishing. Measure out the pasta and heavy cream.
  2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, around 8-10 minutes. Reserve about a cup of pasta water before draining.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant.
  4. Gradually stir in the heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer for around 2 minutes, then mix in fresh grated Parmesan cheese until melted. If too thick, add reserved pasta water until desired consistency.
  5. Fold in the pre-cooked lobster meat gently, ensuring it's coated. Squeeze in fresh lemon juice and let warm through for about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Add the drained pasta directly into the skillet and toss well to coat with the sauce. Cook for another minute. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
