Lobster Ravioli in Garlic Butter Sauce
Ingredients
- 400g lobster ravioli (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 tbsp (60g) butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup (60ml) white wine (optional, replace with chicken or vegetable stock if preferred)
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: lemon zest, red pepper flakes, or extra Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook the ravioli:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster ravioli and cook according to the package instructions (usually 3-5 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- Make the garlic butter sauce:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
- Pour in the white wine (or stock) and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Combine the ravioli and sauce:
- Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and gently toss to coat them in the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
- Season and garnish:
- Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and any additional garnishes like lemon zest or red pepper flakes.
- Serve:
- Plate the ravioli and drizzle with extra sauce. Serve immediately with a side of crusty bread or a fresh salad.
Tips
- Add protein: Include cooked shrimp or scallops for an extra seafood twist.
- Make it lighter: Substitute half-and-half or whole milk for the heavy cream.
- Fresh ravioli: If using fresh ravioli, reduce the cooking time to 2-3 minutes.
