Print Recipe

Gordon Ramsay’s Lobster Pasta is a decadent seafood dish where freshly cooked lobster meat is tossed in a light yet flavorful sauce made from garlic, shallots, cherry tomatoes, white wine, and butter, then served over perfectly cooked pasta. The combination of fresh herbs, citrus, and delicate seasoning enhances the natural sweetness of the lobster.

  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Prepare the Lobster:

  1. Boil or steam the lobster tails – Cook in boiling water for 4-5 minutes until the shells turn bright red.
  2. Remove the meat – Let cool slightly, then use kitchen scissors to cut open the shells and extract the lobster meat. Chop into bite-sized pieces.

Cook the Pasta:

Make the Sauce:

  1. Sauté aromatics – In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add garlic, shallots, and red pepper flakes, cooking until fragrant (1-2 minutes).
  2. Add cherry tomatoes – Cook for 3-4 minutes until soft and slightly blistered.
  3. Deglaze with white wine – Pour in the wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced.
  4. Add heavy cream (if using) – Stir for a light, creamy consistency.

Combine Everything:

  1. Toss in lobster meat – Add cooked lobster pieces and stir gently to coat in the sauce.
  2. Mix in the pasta – Add the cooked pasta and reserved pasta water, tossing to combine.
  3. Finish with lemon and herbs – Stir in lemon juice, fresh parsley, and extra butter.

Serve and Enjoy:

  1. Plate the pasta – Garnish with Parmesan cheese (if using) and extra parsley.
  2. Serve immediately – Enjoy with garlic bread or a fresh green salad.
