Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces cooked lobster meat chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Method
 

  1. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cherry tomatoes to the skillet, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Stir in the chopped lobster meat and fresh spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
