Step-by-Step Instructions for Lobster Bucatini
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bucatini pasta and cook for 9-11 minutes until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of cooking water before draining.
- In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and bubbling.
- Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.
- Pour in the dry white wine to deglaze the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Fold in the cooked lobster meat, gently tossing to heat through for about 1-2 minutes.
- Introduce the drained bucatini to the skillet, tossing with the lobster and sauce. Gradually add reserved pasta water until desired creaminess is achieved.
- Season with salt and pepper, mixing thoroughly. Remove from heat while keeping warm.
- Just before serving, toss in chopped parsley and garnish with shaved Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes
Use freshly cooked lobster if possible; avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness. Reserve pasta water for optimal sauce consistency.
