For the Roasted Asparagus:

🍽️ How to Make It :
1️⃣ Roast the Asparagus:
Toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes until tender-crisp. This adds a fresh & flavorful green touch to your ultimate pasta plate.
2️⃣ Boil the Pasta:
Cook pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain and reserve 1/4 cup pasta water. This step helps build the silkiest Alfredo base for your fancy seafood twist.
3️⃣ Sauté Garlic & Lobster:
In a skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add lobster and toss gently just to warm through. This brings out that buttery lobster magic and seafood luxury flavor.
4️⃣ Make the Alfredo Sauce:
Pour in cream, Parmesan, and seasoning. Simmer until thick and creamy. Stir in the pasta with a splash of reserved water until well coated. You just created the creamiest lobster pasta ever.
5️⃣ Plate & Garnish:
Serve the pasta topped with warm lobster chunks, a sprinkle of parsley, and a side of roasted asparagus. Boom! You’ve got a top-tier dinner that feels like pure restaurant vibes.
