Step-by-Step Instructions for Lobster Bucatini
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a vigorous boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the bucatini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically around 8-10 minutes. Reserve about ½ cup of the starchy pasta water before draining.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt completely without browning, which should take about 2 minutes.
- Add 4 minced garlic cloves and a pinch of red pepper flakes to the melted butter and oil. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant and just starting to turn golden.
- Pour in ½ cup of dry white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced slightly, concentrating the flavor.
- Gently fold in 2 cups of cooked lobster meat into the skillet. Toss the lobster in the sauce and heat through for about 2 minutes.
- Add the drained bucatini directly to the skillet with the lobster and sauce. Toss gently for about 1 minute and gradually mix in reserved pasta water until the sauce reaches desired consistency.
- Season the Lobster Bucatini with salt and pepper to taste. Stir off the heat to avoid overcooking the lobster while allowing it to soak in the flavors.
- Finally, stir in ¼ cup of freshly chopped parsley. Plate generously and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
