Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) lobster ravioli
- 4 tablespoons (56 grams) unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Liquid and Sauce Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup (80 milliliters) chicken or vegetable broth
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup (25 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning and Garnish:
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons (8 grams) fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare a generously salted water bath in a large pot, bringing it to a rolling boil. Submerge the delicate lobster ravioli and allow them to dance in the bubbling liquid for 3-5 minutes, or until they gracefully rise to the surface, signaling their readiness.
- Carefully extract the ravioli using a slotted spoon, preserving a modest quarter cup of the starchy cooking liquid. Set the pasta aside, keeping them warm and inviting.
- In a spacious skillet, transform butter into a silky puddle over medium heat. Introduce finely chopped garlic, letting its aromatic essence permeate the kitchen as it softens and becomes translucent.
- Stream chicken or vegetable broth into the skillet, coaxing it to a gentle simmer. Allow the liquid to reduce and concentrate its flavors for approximately two minutes, creating a robust foundation for the sauce.
- Lower the flame and whisk in velvety heavy cream, bright lemon juice, and fragrant lemon zest. Stir continuously, encouraging the ingredients to harmonize and thicken for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Season the sauce with a delicate balance of salt and freshly cracked pepper. For enhanced richness, fold in a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, creating a luxurious texture.
- Tenderly introduce the cooked ravioli into the sauce, ensuring each pillow is lavishly coated. If the sauce appears too dense, revive its consistency with a splash of reserved pasta water.
- Plate the ravioli with artistic flair, cascading additional sauce over each serving. Finish with a flourish of freshly chopped parsley and an optional snowfall of Parmesan cheese.
Notes

- Cooking time matters: watch ravioli closely and remove them as soon as they float to prevent becoming tough or rubbery.
- Reserve pasta water strategically – it’s a secret weapon for creating perfectly silky sauce consistency when needed.
- Use fresh lemon zest and juice to brighten the rich, creamy butter sauce and cut through its heaviness.
- Gentle mixing prevents delicate ravioli from breaking, ensuring beautiful presentation and preserving tender lobster filling.
- Optional Parmesan cheese adds depth and saltiness, making the sauce more complex and restaurant-worthy.
