Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and unsalted butter over medium heat until the butter melts. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add cooked and chopped lobster meat to the skillet, stirring gently. Sauté the lobster for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Sprinkle in red pepper flakes and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour in dry white wine, stirring gently, and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes. Add halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes until softened.
- Stir in heavy cream and let the sauce simmer for about 2 minutes until it thickens slightly. Add drained linguine and toss together, adding reserved pasta water to reach desired creaminess.
- Remove from heat and add remaining butter, lemon zest, and juice. Toss gently to combine all flavors.
- Serve immediately, garnished with parsley and lemon wedges for extra flavor.

Notes
Quality lobster meat enhances flavor; add butter at the end for richness. Reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency.
