How To Make Air Fryer Lobster Bisque Pasta
Step One: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200°C), for 3-5 minutes. Place the langoustine tails, butter, and garlic cubes in the air fryer basket with the meat side facing up. Set cook time for 6-8 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and lightly browned. Remove from the air fryer and set aside.
Step Two: For the pasta, cook the farfalle according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, then stir in the lobster bisque until well combined.
Step Three: To serve, gently mix in the cooked langoustine tails and warm everything together for 1–2 minutes. Top with shaved Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired.
Air Fryer Lobster Bisque Pasta Recipe Tips
- Use Fresh Lobster or Langoustine Tails – Fresh lobster or langoustine tails will enhance the flavor of your dish, but frozen ones work just fine if fresh isn’t available.
- Don’t Overcook the Lobster – Keep an eye on your lobster tails while air frying. Overcooking can make them tough, so aim for a tender, slightly browned finish.
- Choose Pasta Carefully – Farfalle works well for this recipe due to its shape, which holds onto the creamy lobster bisque sauce. However, you can experiment with other pasta shapes like penne or fusilli.
- Adjust the Garlic to Your Taste – If you love garlic, feel free to add extra garlic cubes or fresh minced garlic for an additional punch of flavor.
- Add a Splash of Cream – For an even creamier texture, you can mix in a splash of heavy cream with the lobster bisque for a richer sauce.
- Garnish for Extra Flavor – Don’t skip the Parmesan cheese and parsley garnish. It adds a lovely finish and boosts the dish’s flavor profile.
Storing
- Storing: Store any leftover Air Fryer Lobster Bisque Pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Be sure to allow the pasta to cool before placing it in the fridge to maintain its texture.
- Freezing: This dish can be frozen, but the lobster may lose some texture when reheated. To freeze, transfer the cooled pasta and lobster bisque to a freezer-safe container, and store for up to 2-3 months.
- Reheating: Reheat the lobster bisque pasta on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent it from drying out. You can also reheat it in the microwave, adding a small splash of cream or broth to keep it creamy.
