Step-by-Step Instructions for Buttered Lobster Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 ounces of pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat, about 2 minutes.
Add 3 minced cloves of garlic to the skillet, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in ½ cup of heavy cream, mix with garlic and butter, and bring to a gentle simmer, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the cooked lobster and 1 teaspoon of salt, folding the lobster into the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Gently add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together for about 1-2 minutes.
Transfer to serving plates and garnish with fresh herbs or lemon wedges. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use freshly cooked lobster for the best flavor. Avoid overcooking the pasta to maintain its texture. Sauté garlic until fragrant to prevent bitterness.
