Bring a big pot of water to a boil.

Add your pasta and make sure it's fully submerged. Salt the water well.

While the noodles are cooking, heat a little olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Add the onions and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until they start to soften and smell amazing.

Add the minced garlic and stir for about 30 seconds.

Add the cherry tomatoes and stir.

Once the tomatoes start to soften, gently press them to release their juices.

Season with salt and pepper and keep stirring.

Add the Trader Joe's Langustino tails. Gently warm them for 1 to 2 minutes, just until heated through.

Pour in the famous Trader Joe's lobster bisque. Stir everything together and let it warm through.

As the sauce heats up, you'll start to see small bubbles forming around the edges. Stir occasionally and cook just until the sauce is hot and lightly bubbling, not a hard boil.

Add the Parmesano Reo cheese. Sprinkle in about 1/4 cup first and stir.

Then add another 1/4 cup and stir again until melted and creamy.

Add the cooked pasta straight into the pan.

Add a spoon or two of pasta water to loosen it and boost the flavor.

Toss until every strand is coated in that creamy lobster sauce.

Add a pinch of Aleppo pepper for gentle heat.

Add a little lemon zest.

Squeeze in some fresh lemon juice to brighten the sauce.

Mix well and taste, adjusting as needed.

Serve it right away and top with more parmesan if you like.

Finish with a sprinkle of Italian parsley for a fresh, bright touch.
