Delicious! We made this tonight with hopes that it would be similar to a dish at a yummy Italian restaurant in DC -- Vapiano. The dish is called Granchi de Fiume and uses crawfish, carrots, and tomatoes. So we just added these extra veggies and switched out the lobster for cooked crawfish tails. Also, we only had 1 cup cream but it was perfect -- let the pasta finish cooking in the sauce for 5 minutes. This also let the sauce thicken a bit. I actually think more cream would have made the sauce too thin. Amazing recipe to work off of. Thanks for posting!!

Very good. I didn't cook the lobster in the shell, but instead removed it prior to boiling for it to be more tender and cook faster. Thaw the lobster first, too. I also used only 1 1/2 cups cream, and it was fine. Really really good, even my 4yr old ate it!

This is delicious! My boyfriend and I made it together for a romantic evening-in, and not only was it fun and easy to make together, but the taste was wonderful! He especially loved it, and declared the recipe a "keeper". Since we used frozen canned lobster, there was some lobster juice left after thawing the lobster, and we used some of it to flavour the water we boiled our pasta in, and we also added a bit to the pasta sauce. Very tasty, thanks for the recipe!

Outstanding! And Gone in minutes! I used light cream and didn't have the bacon or mushrooms or use the spinach, and it was to die for. Imagine if I did have everything! Thank you! Maryann

this was delicious and easy to prepare. i omitted the bacon but i added extra spinach. i only had 2 lobster tails so i added about 1/2 lb of cleaned shrimp to the pan and sauteed it with the vegetables before i added the lobster. they went very well together, and the sauce was great!
