In a food processor bowl, place herbs, pine nuts, garlic, lemon, and ½ cup Parmesan cheese. Turn machine on and slowly stream olive oil in through the lid. Allow to blend well for a couple of minutes, adjust seasoning and reserve.
- Bring one gallon of salted water to a boil and cook fettuccine to al dente. In a sauté pan, heat lobster meat and butter together until lobster is just warmed through.
