Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the linguine pasta and cook until al dente, typically about 8-10 minutes. Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and unsalted butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
- Stir in lobster meat, allowing it to warm through for about 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle in red pepper flakes, adjusting to taste, and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour in white wine, stirring to combine, and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly. Add halved cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Lower heat to medium-low and stir in heavy cream. Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
- Add the drained linguine to the skillet, tossing everything together. Gradually mix in reserved pasta water until sauce reaches preferred creaminess.
- Remove from heat and stir in remaining unsalted butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Toss to combine well.
- Plate immediately, garnishing with fresh parsley and additional lemon wedges if desired.

Notes
Perfect Pasta Texture: Always cook your linguine until al dente. Reserve Pasta Water: Don't forget to save that cup for sauce consistency. Quality Lobster Matters: Use fresh lobster for better flavor. Mind the Heat: Sauté garlic just until fragrant. Dress it Up: Consider adding grated Parmesan before serving.
