To make lobster pasta with cream sauce, follow these simple steps (to see the full process, scroll to the bottom of the page for the recipe card):

1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook according to package instructions. Reserve a 1/2 cup of pasta water for later. Drain the pasta and set aside.
2. Make the panko topping: Melt the butter in a skillet, add the garlic cloves and panko bread crumbs. Stir the mixture continuously until the bread crumbs turn golden brown. Remove from the stovetop and stir in the lemon zest and parsley.
3. Make the sauce: Cook the bacon in the skillet until crispy, then set it aside and pour the fat out of the pan. Sauté the shallot in the butter until it’s soft, then stir in the garlic. Add the wine and simmer to reduce. Add the broth, cream, cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes, simmering the sauce for 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Combine: Add the lobster pieces, bacon, and cooked pasta. Simmer the mixture until the lobster meat is heated. Serve the lobster pasta with a spoonful of the crispy panko topping and enjoy!

some tips for one epic lobster pasta!

• For a thinner sauce, you can stir in the reserved pasta water (or a portion of it) at the very end to thin it down.
• When making the panko topping, keep stirring the mixture to prevent the garlic or bread crumbs from burning!
• We use already-cooked lobster meat, which turns this impressive, elegant dinner into an easy, no-fuss meal! The lobster can be made in advance– follow the instructions in this post: Grilled Lobster Tails with Butter Sauce.
