Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Lobster Bucatini
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add bucatini pasta and cook until al dente, around 9-11 minutes. Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining.
  2. In a skillet, heat unsalted butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted. This creates the base for your sauce.
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Optionally add red pepper flakes.
  4. Pour in dry white wine and scrape the skillet to release any bits. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.
  5. Gently fold in the cooked lobster meat and heat through for 2-3 minutes until warmed.
  6. Add drained bucatini to the skillet and toss with lobster and sauce, gradually incorporating reserved pasta water.
  7. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine before removing from heat.
  8. Mix in chopped parsley and serve topped with shaved Parmesan cheese.
