Ingredients

For the Lobster Alfredo

• 12 oz cooked lobster meat (claw or tail, chopped)
• 8 oz fettuccine or tagliatelle
• 2 tbsp butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 tsp Old Bay or Cajun seasoning (optional kick)
• Salt & black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Roasted Asparagus

• 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste
• Optional: squeeze of lemon after roasting

Instructions

Roast the Asparagus

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Toss the trimmed asparagus with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
3. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 12–15 minutes until tender-crisp. The tips should be lightly golden, while the stalks remain vibrant green.
4. Optional: Finish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.

This adds a fresh, flavorful green touch that balances the richness of the Alfredo.

Boil the Pasta

5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine or tagliatelle and cook until al dente according to package directions.
6. Before draining, reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water. This starchy liquid helps create a silky, cohesive Alfredo sauce.
7. Drain and set aside.

Sauté Garlic & Lobster

8. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to foam.
9. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30–60 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent browning.
10. Gently add the cooked lobster meat and toss just until warmed through. Avoid overcooking to keep the lobster tender and juicy.

This step brings out that buttery lobster magic and seafood luxury flavor.
