Ingredients
For the Ravioli
- 1 package (12-16 oz) lobster ravioli (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tbsp salt (for boiling water)
For the Creamy Sauce
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup white wine (or seafood broth)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Cook the Ravioli
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Cook the ravioli according to package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes) until they float. Drain and set aside.
2. Make the Creamy Sauce
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
3. Add Cream and Cheese
Lower the heat and stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
4. Toss with Ravioli
Add the cooked lobster ravioli to the sauce, gently tossing to coat. Let them warm in the sauce for 1-2 minutes.
5. Serve and Garnish
Transfer the ravioli to serving plates and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
Tips for the Best Lobster Ravioli
- If using homemade ravioli, ensure they are well-sealed to prevent filling leakage.
- For a richer flavor, replace white wine with seafood broth.
- Add a splash of lemon juice at the end for extra freshness.
- Serve with crusty bread or a light salad for a complete meal.
