Lobster Roll Pasta

This recipe transforms classic lobster roll flavors into a creamy, delightful pasta dish. It combines succulent lobster with fresh celery, chives, and a rich, creamy sauce, all tossed with your favorite pasta for a comforting and elegant meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cooked lobster meat, chopped
  • 1 pound pasta (such as linguine or tagliatelle)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup finely diced celery
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
  2. While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced celery and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
  5. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  7. Add chopped lobster meat and chives to the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Add the cooked and drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
  9. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges on the side if desired.

Notes

  • Using fresh, high-quality lobster makes a big difference in this dish.
  • Adjust the amount of cream to your preference for a thicker or thinner sauce.
  • A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a subtle kick if you like a little spice.
