Creating Buttered Lobster Pasta is a blissful experience when you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Pasta:
– Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
– Add the linguine or fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
– Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the rest.

2. Prepare the Lobster:
– While the pasta is cooking, carefully slice the lobster tails in half lengthwise.
– Use a spoon or knife to gently remove the meat from the shell and chop it into bite-sized pieces.

3. Sauté Garlic:
– In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
– Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

4. Cook the Lobster:
– Add the lobster pieces to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lobster is opaque and cooked through.

5. Add Cream and Wine:
– Pour in the heavy cream and white wine (if using).
– Stir to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

6. Combine Pasta and Sauce:
– Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the lobster.
– Toss gently to coat the pasta in the sauce. If needed, add some reserved pasta water to help loosen the sauce.

7. Season:
– Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.
– Toss once more to incorporate all the flavors.

8. Serve:
– Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley.
– Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
