Exotic Gordon Ramsay Lobster Capellini Recipe

Chef Gordon Ramsay lobster capellini recipe is a delight to have with the delicious lobster pasta sauce. Not many people can make an excellent lobster sauce like Gordon Ramsay.

Gordon Ramsay Lobster Capellini

I came across this recipe a few years ago. What I loved was that he used Capellini pasta, which, to be honest, doesn’t get its fair share of the credit.

To make Gordon Ramsay lobster capellini, cook the capellini al dente. In a pan, add butter, tomatoes, onions, garlic, chili, pepper, and wine. Cook the veggies until wine dries.

Add cream and small pieces of lobster. Pour the sauce over the capellini on a plate. Top with parmesan, basil, and drizzle olive oil.

If you can’t find Capellini you can substitute it with angel hair pasta. Cook angel hair pasta as it has more surface area than any other strand pasta, so you get more sauce in each bite.

This was a quick overview of the recipe. Find the complete recipe below. But before going to the complete recipe, let’s check out some other best Gordon Ramsay recipes.
