Exotic Gordon Ramsay Lobster Capellini Recipe
Chef Gordon Ramsay’s Lobster Capellini recipe is a delight, with a delicious lobster pasta sauce. Not many people can make an excellent lobster sauce like Gordon Ramsay. 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 credit.
To make Gordon Ramsay’s Lobster Capellini, cook the capellini al dente. In a pan, add butter, tomatoes, onions, garlic, chili, pepper, and wine. Cook the veggies until the wine dries.
Add cream and small pieces of lobster. Pour the sauce over the capellini on a plate. Top with parmesan, basil, and drizzle with olive oil.
If you can’t find Capellini, substitute angel hair pasta. Cook angel hair pasta as it has more surface area than other pasta, so you get more sauce in each bite.

Expert Tips That I Recommend
- Always make sure that the pan is well heated before adding the beef. Sear it for 1 minute per side, then remove it as soon as it browns.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan, as it affects how the beef cooks. Crowding lowers the temperature and prevents cooking.
- Don’t add too much flour to the mixture.
- Mix a few spoonfuls of warm sauce into the sour cream before adding it to the skillet. This way, the cream will not curdle.
- But don’t boil it after adding the sour cream.
Recipe Variation for Different Diets
- Low Sodium Version: Replace cream with low-sodium cream; instead of dry white wine, use unsalted, low-sodium cooking wine.
- Keto Version: You can swap cream with heavy cream and add shirataki noodles instead of capellini.

Storing And Reheating This Recipe
Storing
- Allow the lobster capellini to cool completely. Then place it in an airtight container and drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking. If possible, store pasta and lobster in different containers. Now you need to refrigerate it. Eat within 3-4 days. But keep the temperature at 4 degrees Celsius or below.
Reheating
- Oven: First, preheat the oven to 320°F. Now add the capellini to an oven-safe dish with 1 or 2 tablespoons of water. Cover it tightly with foil and heat for 8 to 12 minutes. Add the lobster at the end, once everything is heated.
- Stovetop: Add the pasta to a pan. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water. Cover it and gently warm for 2 to 4 minutes. Once the pasta is heated, add the lobster at the end so it doesn’t get overheated.
What To Serve With This Recipe
You can enjoy the Gordon Ramsay Lobster Capellini with crusty garlic bread or French Fries. Well, you can also enjoy it with a sip of iced tea or cold coffee. But if you want to keep it light and fresh, add a fresh green salad or a crunchy apple-walnut salad on the side.
