Lobster Pasta Diablo
Servings: 2
Total Time:
Ingredients
- 6–8 oz cooked lobster claws (shelled or in shell)
- 6 oz spaghetti
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1–2 tbsp jarred Calabrian red peppers, chopped
- 1 tsp Uncle Dibbz Delta Dust (plus more to taste)
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Juice of 1/2 lemon (plus wedges for serving)
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Olive oil for finishing
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the pasta. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
- Build the sauce base. In a large skillet over medium low heat, melt butter. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in chopped Calabrian red peppers and Delta Dust, and cook for 1 minute to bloom the seasoning.
- Deglaze. Raise heat to medium and pour in the white wine. Scrape up any bits from the pan and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Warm the lobster. Add lobster claws to the skillet and toss gently in the sauce for 2 to 3 minutes until heated through.
- Combine. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat, adding a splash of reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce. Stir in parsley, lemon juice, and Parmesan. Taste and adjust with more Delta Dust, salt, or pepper.
- Finish and serve. Plate the pasta, arrange the lobster on top, and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Serve with extra lemon wedges.
Notes
- Start with 1 tbsp Calabrian red peppers if you prefer a medium level of heat. Add more to turn it truly Diablo.
- If using lobster still in the shell, crack before serving so it is easier to eat at the table.
