Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound bucatini pasta
  • 2 cooked lobster tails, shells removed, lobster meat cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 small shallot, finely diced
  • 0.5 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 0.5 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the bucatini pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  • While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the sliced garlic and diced shallots to the skillet. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant and soft, but don’t let the garlic brown.
  • Pour in the white wine and let it simmer gently to reduce by half (about 3 minutes).
  • Add the halved cherry tomatoes and red pepper flakes. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until tomatoes soften.
  • Stir in the lobster meat and cook just until heated through — about 2 minutes. Be careful not to overcook lobster or it gets rubbery.
  • Add lemon juice, butter, and chopped parsley. Stir until the butter melts into the sauce, making it silky.
  • Toss the cooked bucatini into the skillet with the lobster sauce. Add reserved pasta water a little at a time if the sauce seems too thick. Mix well to coat all the pasta evenly.
  • Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley or lemon wedges if desired.
  • Notes

    Lobster Bucatini Pasta combines tender lobster meat with chewy hollow bucatini pasta in a rich, garlicky white wine sauce enhanced by fresh herbs and cherry tomatoes. This elegant seafood pasta dish is easy to prepare and perfect for special dinners or weeknights.
