Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 10 minutes mins
Total Time 20 minutes mins
- 12 ounces of spaghetti approximately 3/4 of a standard box
- 1/4 cup Vermont Creamery Cultured Butter with Sea Salt
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup fresh dill roughly chopped
- 3 tablespoons chopped chives
- Zest from 2 lemons
- 1/4 cup lemon juice about the juice of 2 lemons
- 1 cup reserved pasta water
- 1 pound cooked lobster meat roughly chopped*
- 1/2 cup toasted breadcrumbs
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, but reduce the cooking time by two minutes since the pasta will finish cooking once combined with the sauce. While the pasta is boiling, prepare the lobster butter sauce. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and stir frequently until it becomes fragrant, about one minute. Next, stir in the lemon juice and zest, cooking for another minute. Add the lobster meat to the sauce, stirring often, then reduce the heat to a simmer and stir occasionally as the pasta finishes cooking. Drain the pasta, reserving one cup of the starchy pasta water. Add both the pasta and reserved water to the lemon butter sauce and cook for about three minutes, allowing the starch to thicken the sauce and the liquid to reduce. Serve the pasta plated and topped with toasted breadcrumbs, additional lemon zest, and fresh dill. Enjoy while hot!
