Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil calamarata in salted water until al dente, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add garlic, cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. Step 3

    Add lobster and squid. Sear without stirring for 2 minutes until squid firms and lobster begins to color.

  4. Step 4

    Pour white wine into the skillet and scrape up browned bits. Simmer 3 minutes until wine reduces by half.

  5. Step 5

    Add cooked pasta and 0.5 cup pasta water to the skillet. Toss constantly for 2 minutes to emulsify the sauce.

  6. Step 6

    Remove from heat. Stir in butter until melted and glossy. Finish with parsley, salt, and pepper. Serve immediately.
