Health is Wealth: Fit Lobster Pasta

By March 12, 2020 No Comments

Health is truly wealth. Fortunately, healthy food doesn’t have to mean compromising flavor or completely ditching your favorite foods. A simple and easy way to help boost the nutrition value of your favorite recipes is to swap out certain ingredients for healthier options. For example, swapping out high-carb pasta for spaghetti squash, and using heart-healthy olive oil instead of butter.

Lobster is also a great source of essential nutrients and protein, both of which are important for overall health and wellness. Hopefully, this healthy lobster pasta recipe provides inspiration for other nutrient-dense healthy ingredient swaps to boost your favorite recipes.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 cup frozen English peas, thawed
  • 1 cup blanched asparagus
  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 4 cups lobster meat
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and carefully cut the spaghetti in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and scrape out the ribbing with a spoon.
  2. Drizzle the inside of each spaghetti squash half with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet cut-side down and roast for 35-45 minutes.
  3. Remove from oven, let cool for about 15-20 minutes, and then use a fork to fluff up the inside of the squash and create “spaghetti”.
  4. Set spaghetti squash halves off to side.
  5. Place large pot over medium heat. Add olive oil, and once hot, add garlic. Sauté garlic for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Turn heat to low and add all the other ingredients except Parmesan.
  7. Pour mixture into the spaghetti squash halves. Sprinkle Parmesan over top and serve.
