Lobster Ravioli:
- 1 package lobster ravioli
Lemon Butter Sauce:
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken or vegetable broth
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Zest of 1 lemon
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
- Cook the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster ravioli and cook according to package instructions (usually about 3–4 minutes, or until they float to the top). Drain and set aside.
- Make the Lemon Butter Sauce: In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in the heavy cream and broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add Lemon and Cheese: Stir in the lemon juice and zest, and let the sauce simmer for 2–3 minutes to slightly thicken. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Combine Ravioli and Sauce: Gently add the cooked lobster ravioli to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly in the sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Serve: Plate the ravioli and drizzle with the sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional Parmesan if desired.
Notes
- For a creamier sauce, you can add a little more heavy cream.
- If you don’t have lobster ravioli, you can substitute with crab or shrimp ravioli for a similar flavor.
- Garnishing with a bit of extra lemon zest enhances the fresh lemon flavor.
