Steps:
- Cook the pasta until just al dente. Drain, reserving half a cup of pasta water. Set aside.
- Add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter to a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the lobster meat and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, tossing until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove to a plate.
- Sprinkle the steak with the lemon pepper seasoning and add to the skillet. Cook, turning occasionally, until medium-rare, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to the plate. Without cleaning the skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, then add the shallots, garlic, oregano, thyme and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Deglaze with the wine, scraping the skillet to release all the flavor. Add the cream, lemon zest and pasta water, then bring to a boil and let thicken, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the pasta and toss to coat.
- Transfer the pasta to a serving platter. Garnish with the parsley and drizzle over the lemon juice. Top with the lobster and steak bites.
PASTA AND HERBED CREAM SAUCE
Steps:
- In a large pot of boiling salted water add the spaghetti and cook until it is al dente. Meanwhile, in a large skillet set over moderately low heat, melt the butter, add the rosemary and cook it, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes. As soon as the pasta is cooked, drain and add it to the pan. Add the cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Toss to coat and let reduce 1 to 2 minutes, gently stirring, or until lightly thickened. Add Parmesan to taste, toss to combine and transfer to serving dish. Sprinkle with parsley.
PASTA WITH CREAMY HERB SAUCE
This cozy pasta is the perfect place to use up any hard-stem herbs like sage, thyme or rosemary that are languishing in your fridge. Add the herbs and a cinnamon stick to a pot of heavy cream. As they bubble together, the cream takes on a surprising but subtle herbaceousness. Use it to sauce pasta noodles and winter greens. If you don't have the herbs listed, leave them out or swap in marjoram or bay leaves, or even dried chile, lemon peel, garlic, shallot or leeks. The method of infusing cream with flavorings, then using it to sauce pasta, is open to adaptation. To get vegetarian recipes like this one delivered to your inbox, sign up for The Veggie newsletter .

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sage, thyme, rosemary, cinnamon and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium and cook until the cream has thickened slightly and is reduced to about 1 cup, 12 to 15 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer. Remove from heat until the pasta's ready.
- When the cream is at the halfway point, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until a minute or 2 shy of al dente. About 3 minutes before draining the pasta, add the greens to the water. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta and greens with a colander and return to the pot.
- Place the just-used colander over the pot of pasta, then strain the infused cream through the colander into the noodles. (Discard or compost the herbs and cinnamon stick.) Add the 1/2 cup pasta water to the pasta, set over medium-high heat, and cook, tossing, until the sauce glosses the noodles, 3 to 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose fresh lobster: The fresher the lobster, the better the pasta will taste. Look for lobsters that are lively and have a firm shell.
- Cook the lobster properly: Overcooked lobster is tough and chewy. Cook it just until the meat is opaque and tender.
- Make sure the cream sauce is thick enough: A thin sauce will make the pasta watery. Simmer the sauce until it has thickened slightly.
- Use a variety of herbs: Herbs add flavor and depth to the sauce. Use a combination of fresh herbs, such as basil, thyme, and parsley.
- Garnish the pasta with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a pop of color and flavor to the dish. Use herbs such as basil, thyme, or parsley.
Conclusion:
Lobster pasta with herbed cream sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish at home that will impress your guests.
