# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Get a big pot of salty water boiling. Drop in those lobster tails and let them cook for about 8-10 minutes till they turn bright red and are fully done.
02 -
Grab another pot and cook your pasta till it's just right - not too soft. Drain the water and put the pasta aside for now.
03 -
After your lobster is cooked, pull the meat from the shells and cut it into small chunks. Set them aside for later.
04 -
Take a big pan and melt your butter on medium. Toss in your chopped garlic and cook it for a minute or two until it smells amazing.
05 -
Now add your heavy cream, Parmesan, lemon juice, and lemon skin bits. Stir it all up until the cheese melts and everything's nice and smooth.
06 -
Put your cooked pasta and lobster pieces into the pan. Gently mix it all up so everything gets covered in that yummy sauce.
07 -
Sprinkle in salt, pepper, and those red pepper flakes if you want some kick. Mix it all up and let everything warm through for another 2-3 minutes.
08 -
Throw that chopped parsley on top right before you're ready to eat. It adds a fresh pop of color and taste.
09 -
Scoop your tasty lobster pasta into pretty bowls. Don't forget to pour any extra sauce right on top before digging in.
