My only suggestion is to get three lobster tails instead of two if you’re feeding a man. This recipe was so delicious!! The ingredients were easy to find. It was easy to cook, and seriously one of the best pastas I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!
This was so tasty! The sauce was awesome. I ended up with more pasta than I needed for the sauce — maybe next time, I’d do 10oz? But overall, great recipe!
