Equipment

  • Pasta Pot
  • saute pan
  • silicone spatula
  • measuing cups and spoon
  • zester

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package lobster ravioli
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small shallot, finely diced
  • 2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • ½ cup reserved pasta water
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions
 

Step 1: Cook the ravioli

  • Cook the lobster ravioli according to the packaging instructions. Once done, drain and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.

Step 2: Melt butter

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic, diced shallot, and rosemary sprigs. Cook until fragrant and the shallot is softened about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3: Deglaze with wine 

  • Add the white wine (or broth) and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 4: Add the cream 

  • Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.

Step 5: Flavor the sauce

  • Add the grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Step 6: Add the ravioli

  • Gently add the cooked ravioli to the sauce, tossing lightly to coat them evenly. If needed, use a splash of reserved pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency. Let the ravioli warm in the sauce for 1-2 minutes.
    Garnish with fresh parsley or chives.
