Chef notes

This recipe takes minutes to prepare but makes a big statement as a main course. The luxurious lobster makes this dish feel indulgent, but the fresh veggies and heart-healthy olive oil make it good for you.

Technique tip: After peeling garlic, remove the smell from your hands by rubbing your hands with salt.

Swap option: For a keto-friendly recipe, swap pasta with cooked spaghetti squash.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound cooked pasta, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water
