Lobster & Pesto Fettuccine

Ingredients

• 1 lb box fettuccine
• 2 cups fresh basil leaves, washed
• 1 cup fresh Italian parsley leaves, washed
• ¼ cup pine nuts, toasted
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese + extra for plating
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1½–2 lbs lobster claw, leg and knuckle meat

Directions

1. 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.
2. 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.
