Lobster Ravioli With Tomato Cream Sauce – Gourmet Delight.

Lobster Ravioli​

The Prestons

Ingredients
  

For the Ravioli Dough:

  • 2 cups all purpose flour or "00" flour for a silkier texture
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons water as needed

For the Lobster Filling:

  • 1 cup cooked lobster meat finely chopped
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Sauce (Optional – Butter & Garlic Sauce):

  •  
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup white wine or seafood broth
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley and grated Parmesan for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Ravioli Dough
  • On a clean surface, make a mound with the flour and create a well in the center.
  • Add the eggs, olive oil, and salt into the well. Gradually mix in the flour using a fork.
  • Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  • Step 2: Make the Lobster Filling
  • In a bowl, combine the chopped lobster, ricotta, Parmesan, lemon zest, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix well and refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up.
  • Step 3: Assemble the Ravioli
  • Roll out the pasta dough into thin sheets using a rolling pin or pasta machine.
  • Place small scoops of the filling (about 1 teaspoon each) onto one sheet of dough, leaving space between them.
  • Lightly brush water or egg wash around the filling, then cover with another sheet of dough.
  • Press around each mound of filling to seal, ensuring no air pockets remain.
  • Use a ravioli cutter or sharp knife to cut out individual ravioli.
  • Step 4: Cook the Ravioli
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil.
  • Drop in the ravioli and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface.
  • Remove using a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Step 5: Make the Sauce & Serve
  • In a pan, melt butter over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
  • Pour in the white wine and let it reduce slightly.
  • Stir in lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Add the cooked ravioli to the sauce, tossing gently to coat.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan before serving.

Notes

  • For a shortcut, you can use store-bought fresh pasta sheets instead of making the dough from scratch.
  • Lobster ravioli pairs well with a light salad and a glass of white wine like Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio.
 
  • You can freeze the uncooked ravioli in a single layer and store them for up to 2 months.
