10 ounces linguine pasta
12 ounces lobster meat, cooked and cut into bite-sized pieces
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 shallot, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons dried Italian seasonings
2 teaspoons lemon zest
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup reserved pasta water, or more if needed

Instructions

Cook the 10 ounces linguine pasta according to package instructions. Cook the pasta to al-dente. Before draining the pasta, save some of the pasta water for the sauce.

Stir in 2 tablespoons tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
Lower the heat and slowly add in 1 cup heavy cream and ½ cup parmesan cheese. Heat through and stir until the cheese is melted.
Add salt and pepper, 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasonings, and 2 teaspoons lemon zest. Add 1/2 cup reserved pasta water, to thin the sauce. Taste the sauce and add additional seasoning to your liking.
Add the cooked 12 ounces lobster meat, and pasta. Toss to combine with the sauce.
Top the pasta with parmesan cheese, fresh basil, and red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve immediately warm. Enjoy!
