Hello friends! Tonight, let’s treat ourselves to a luxurious yet simple meal: Lobster Alfredo with Spinach! This recipe is perfect for a cozy night in and is easily adaptable to your dietary needs.
**Ingredients:**
* 1 pound cooked lobster meat (canned is fine!), chopped
* 1 pound fettuccine pasta
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
* 2 cups heavy cream
* 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
* Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
**Instructions:**
1. **Cook the pasta:** Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. **Sauté the garlic:** While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it!
3. **Add spinach and cream:** Stir in the thawed and squeezed spinach. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
4. **Stir in cheese and lobster:** Reduce heat to low. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Gently fold in the chopped lobster meat.
5. **Combine and serve:** Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss gently to coat everything in the creamy sauce.
6. **Garnish and enjoy:** Serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
This recipe is easily adaptable! Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth, or substitute other vegetables like broccoli or peas for the spinach.
