Viral Lobster Pasta

From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito

This viral lobster pasta is the kind of dish that feels luxurious without being fussy at all.

I think that’s probably why it became such a big bit hit on social media. Last year it seemed like everybody was hoping onto the trend.

The original recipe was made with all Trader Joe’s products. I don’t have one super close to me so I just used products from my local grocery store.

This dinner really was such a big hit. It rich, creamy, and loaded with sweet, tender lobster. Well, to guess that’s not exactly 100% true.

The Langostino Tails aren’t exactly lobster but they’re a very close cousin. The little mini tails are perfect for this recipe.

And please don’t second guess the lobster bisque here. I have to admit, I was a little hesitant, too. But, it was incredible!

The sauce clings to every strand of pasta, giving you that perfect bite of buttery, garlicky goodness with a hint of spice every time.

If you want a show-stopping dinner that feels restaurant-worthy but is totally doable at home, this pasta is it. 

I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you’ll love it just as much as my family and I do.

Viral Lobster Pasta Variations

I love this lobster pasta made just the way it is, but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.

• Pasta- Use any kind of pasta for this recipe. It all works!
• Lobster Bisque- Originally, this was a meal made of all Trader Joe’s products. I used a bisque I found at my local grocery store. Feel free to use any brand that you’d like.
• Lobster- The langostino tails aren’t technically lobster. Even though they look and taste incredibly similar. If you’re like to use cooked and cubed lobster tails, go for it!
