Ingredients

3 tbsp olive oil, divided
¼ cup breadcrumbs
6 oz spaghetti *Note 1
12 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, divided
1 lb cooked lobster meat, chopped *Note 2
sea salt, to taste

Instructions

Pre-heat a large skillet with 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toast until golden brown, stirring frequently. Set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente (reference the back of the pasta package for exact cook time). Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
6 oz spaghetti
While the pasta is cooking, pre-heat a large skillet, with the remaining olive oil, over medium heat. Add the garlic slices and cook for about 1 minute, until light brown and soft, stirring frequently. Stir in the red pepper flakes, 1 tbsp of parsley, and 1/3 cup of the reserved pasta water. Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring frequently.
3 tbsp olive oil, divided, 1 lb cooked lobster meat, chopped, 12 cloves garlic, sliced
Transfer the drained pasta to the skillet. Use a pair of tongs to toss the pasta in the sauce. Add the lobster meat and toss until the noodles and meat are coated in the sauce. Add the remaining reserved pasta water, if needed.
Transfer to individual serving bowls, top with toasted breadcrumbs and the remaining parsley, and serve.

Notes

Note 1 - Use your favorite pasta. Spaghetti, linguine and angel hair are great options.

Note 2 - Meat from lobster claws, knuckles, tail, or a combination all work well.
