Brown Butter Lobster Pasta with Burst Cherry Tomatoes.

Simple and delicious Brown Butter Lobster Pasta with Burst Cherry Tomatoes. This quick-cooking pasta is like summer in a bowl. Buttery lobster tails tossed with a golden browned butter cherry tomato pan sauce, with white wine, and plenty of basil. Serve over a plate of quick-cooking cheesy fontina pasta. This is the perfect summer dinner, all made using summery seafood and garden produce. Simple yet so delectable, and ready in just about 30 minutes. Most importantly…every twirl of pasta is mouth-wateringly delicious.

Every summer I share a lobster recipe or two. And while they are all special and delicious, this summer lobster pasta is by far my favorite. It’s everything you’d want out of a lobster dish…buttery, simple, and heavy on the herbs.

I will be the first to admit that sometimes I can go a bit over the top with some recipes. Sometimes that’s totally fine, but when it comes to lobster, I find that it’s pretty decadent on its own. It really just needs a few simple ingredients alongside it to make it truly something special.

Let’s talk about the lobster

Since we’re pairing this with pasta, I like to keep the lobster as simple as possible and use lobster tails. I find them to be much, much easier, and quicker to work with.

For this dish, I just take four to six raw lobster tails and cut the lobster meat right out of the shell. It’s super easy to do with a pair of scissors and takes very little time. Once the lobster meat is out of the shell, I gently cook it in a little garlicky butter until the tails turn bright red on the outside and opaque inside.

When you take the tails out of the skillet add in the prosciutto and get it nice and crispy. You could easily use bacon too, but I love incorporating light prosciutto into this pasta. It feels a little more fresh and summery.

From here, the rest is QUICK. Toss in the tomatoes. Add more butter, garlic, and herbs, and then a splash of wine to create a simple but delicious pan sauce. Stir the lobster into the sauce and let everything warm together while you work on the pasta.

For the pasta…

I chose to use super quick-cooking angel hair pasta, which I feel like people either love or hate. Around here we love it and since it’s so quick-cooking, I love it for this recipe. I boil the pasta, then immediately toss it with olive, basil, chives, and cubes of fontina cheese.

Just like my pasta salads, the heat from the pasta will slightly melt the cheese, creating a delicious, light, and cheesy pasta.

Finish it up

By the time the pasta is finished cooking, the lobster should be completed as well.

I always plate the pasta first, then spoon the cherry tomato sauce and chunks of lobster meat over the pasta. As usual with my summer recipes, finish this off topped with plenty of herbs. And that’s it…dinner is done in a matter of minutes.

What’s great about this recipe is that it feels and tastes like a restaurant-quality lobster dish. But it’s made at home and may even be better than what you’d get eating out.

My Thursday night recommendation? Pour yourself a glass of wine, fix up a big plate of seafood pasta, and relax out on the patio or deck…the perfect summer night dinner! Sounds pretty darn good, right? Lovin’ the easy summer living.

And nothing’s better than buttery, herby, seafood pasta, sweet tomatoes, and wine…all together in one dish. Happiest Thursday!
