Directions
- Roast the Asparagus: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Roast 12–15 minutes until tender-crisp. Optional: squeeze fresh lemon over the top before serving.
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook fettuccine or tagliatelle until al dente. Reserve ¼ cup of pasta water before draining to help create a silky Alfredo sauce.
- Sauté Garlic & Lobster: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add lobster and toss gently to warm through. This enhances the lobster’s natural sweetness and infuses it with buttery flavor.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce: Pour in heavy cream, add Parmesan, and sprinkle in Old Bay or Cajun seasoning if using. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly. Add cooked pasta and a splash of reserved pasta water, tossing to coat evenly.
- Plate & Garnish: Serve pasta with chunks of warm lobster on top, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and plate alongside the roasted asparagus. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the lobster for maximum indulgence.
