Roasted Red Pepper Pasta with Lobster
Roasted Red Pepper Pasta with Lobster
Ingredients:
4 oz. fettuccine pasta
1 lb. Maine Lobster tails, split or whole, thawed (about 8-10 split tails or 4-5 whole tails)
4 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup butter, divided
⅓ cup cashews, soaked
12 oz. roasted red peppers, peppers only
½ cup milk
2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
2 tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, then cook the pasta as you normally would.
- Add 2 tbsp butter, 2 minced garlic cloves and the lobster to a large skillet then cook for 2-3 minutes. Use kitchen tongs to remove the lobster; set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the rest of the butter and garlic and sauté for 2 more minutes.
- Transfer butter and garlic to a blender. Then, add the cashews, milk and roasted red peppers and blend for 1 minute.
- Once the pasta is done, drain it and transfer it into the same skillet you used before. Add the lobster back into the skillet and turn the heat onto low.
- Pour the sauce from the blender into the skillet and stir to combine. Heat for 1-2 minutes until the lobster is warmed.
- Top pasta with chopped basil and parmesan cheese and enjoy!
Note: you may have a little extra sauce, and that’s ok! Save it for another dish.
