Description

A rich pasta dish featuring lobster in a creamy sun-dried tomato and spinach sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lobster meat, cooked and chopped
  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  6. Add spinach to the sauce and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

  8. Add the drained pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat everything in the sauce. Add reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute shrimp or chicken for lobster if desired.
  • Use the oil from the sun-dried tomato jar for extra flavor in place of some olive oil.
