Description

This Lobster Ravioli in Garlic Butter Sauce is a decadent Italian-American seafood dish featuring tender lobster-filled ravioli enveloped in a rich and creamy garlic butter sauce, enhanced with Parmesan cheese, white wine, and a hint of lemon. Perfect for a special occasion or an elegant weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 18 ounces lobster ravioli (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Cook the ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster ravioli and cook according to the package directions until tender. Drain and set aside carefully to avoid tearing.
  2. Prepare the garlic butter sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned, which allows the garlic to infuse the butter.
  3. Deglaze and simmer: Pour in the dry white wine or chicken broth. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes to reduce slightly and concentrate the flavors.
  4. Add cream and cheese: Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, whisking continuously until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
  5. Season the sauce: Add the lemon juice and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes to meld the flavors and achieve a creamy consistency.
  6. Toss ravioli with sauce: Gently add the cooked lobster ravioli into the skillet, carefully tossing to coat each piece evenly with the garlic butter sauce without breaking the delicate pasta.
  7. Finish and serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the ravioli for a burst of color and fresh flavor. Serve the dish warm, optionally with extra Parmesan or a drizzle of truffle oil for added indulgence.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, add a splash of lobster stock to the sauce while simmering.
  • To enhance the dish, top with extra grated Parmesan cheese or a drizzle of truffle oil before serving.
  • Use fresh parsley for the best aroma and presentation.
  • If you prefer less spice, omit the crushed red pepper flakes.
