Ingredients
Scale
8 oz spaghetti or fettuccine
1 lb cooked lobster meat, roughly chopped
4 oz prosciutto, sliced thin
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Red pepper flakes (optional, for additional heat)
Instructions
Boil salted water in a large pot. Add the spaghetti or fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook until they soften and burst, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, along with the reserved pasta water, lobster meat, and chopped prosciutto. Toss everything gently over medium heat to combine the flavors.
Remove from heat and stir in the fresh basil and Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and create a creamy-inspired sauce. Adjust the seasoning as necessary before serving.
