Lobster pasta salad makes an impressive dish for potlucks or barbecues.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz dried farfalle (bowtie) pasta
  • 2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 2 cups corn kernels (from 3 to 4 ears of corn)
  • 1 1/2 to 2 lbs chilled lobster meat cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh Italian flat leaf parsley, minced
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • Combine the cooked pasta and lobster mixture in a large bowl and drizzle with the melted butter.
