Ingredients

  • 12 oz fettuccine
  • 2 lobster tails about 8 oz each
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente.

  • Pour in the heavy cream and allow it to simmer for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined, then add the lobster pieces.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir in the fresh basil just before serving.
  • Toss the cooked fettuccine in the sauce, ensuring each strand is coated evenly with the creamy mixture.
