• Sea salt 1/8 tsp
• 1/4 cup hot pasta water

• Lemon wedges

How to Make Lobster Ravioli Sauce

Those of you craving that incredibly flavourful sauce to slather atop your ravioli, try these step-by-step instructions, guaranteed for utter perfection. Begin by cooking your ravioli in a large saucepan of salted water. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes while you work on the sauce.

• Boil a large pot of salted water to cook your ravioli in
• Plop some butter in a medium saucepan and allow it to melt over medium heat. Once the butter begins to brown, add your shallots, and sauté for around 2 minutes or until they’re translucent. It’s best to use a large saucepan because you’ll acquire a large surface area to sauté the shallot and garlic.
• Add minced garlic and pepper, then sauté for another minute; careful not to burn the garlic, as this will spoil the entire mix
• Your pot of water should be boiling by this part, so it’s time to cook the ravioli in your large pot of boiling salted water over medium-high heat.
• Pour in some heavy cream, adding salt and bringing it to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low heat
• Allow this to simmer for 2 minutes, then add 1/4 cup of hot pasta water, stirring well. Add a little more pasta water if required to achieve the desired consistency, then simmer for another minute and turn off the heat.
• Place your cooked lobster ravioli in a deep pasta bowl, scooping some creamy tomato sauce to dollop on top, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley
• Serve with lemon wedges, or squeeze a little lemon juice over your plate of lobster ravioli

How to Make Homemade Lobster Ravioli

Contrary to what many may assume, lobster ravioli is actually pretty simple to make at home. Here’s what you’ll need to do.

Make Your Pasta Dough

Prepare your pasta sheets, or purchase pre-made sheets if you’re short of time. You’ll want to choose particularly thin sheets, so if you have lasagne sheets, simply roll them out a little with your rolling pin before using them.

You can make your pasta sheets at home using a stand mixer, dough hook, or pasta machine. Feed your fresh pasta dough through your roller.

Make Your Filling

Next up is your delicious lobster ravioli filling. Make this by combining small pieces of lobster meat, ricotta, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, parsley, and lemon zest. Then add a smidge of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes if you desire that heated kick. The best thing about this cooking ravioli is the lobster, so make sure there’s plenty of it.

Mix the lobster filling well by either using your hand or a food processor and quickly blend to combine. Spoon a heaped tablespoon of this filling onto the pasta sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining ricotta filling mixture.

Cut into Individual Ravioli

Cut the sheets into individual ravioli with a pizza cutter or ravioli wheel, though you can cut them with a chef’s knife or kitchen shears. Dampen the edges of the pasta sheet with some water using a pastry brush, then fold the pasta sheet and press gently to make a seal.

Alternatively, to save some time, you can use a ravioli maker or ravioli cutter to make these. After the ravioli are made, make sure they’re transferred on a floured cutting board so that they don’t stick to anything prior to cooking.

Cooking Your Lobster Ravioli

When you’re ready to cook, simply toss them into a pot of salted boiling water and cook until they float, taking care to not overcook as they will break apart. If you’re new to making ravioli, try making one of them at first by tossing it into your boiling water, timing it, and tossing the rest once that’s done and cooking it for as long as you did with your single-cooked piece of ravioli.

Use a mesh strainer to remove the cooked ravioli and place them straight into your deep serving bowls. Then top with your favorite sauce, and you’re good to go!
