Step-by-Step Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook according to package instructions, typically 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside in a warm bowl, reserving a little pasta water.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked linguine and 1 cup of diced lobster meat to the sauce. Toss gently for 1-2 minutes over low heat to coat the ingredients.
Drizzle lemon juice over the pasta and season with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
Plate the creamy lobster linguine and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Always taste the linguine a minute before it's done to avoid overcooking. High-quality lobster enhances the flavor.
