Ingredients

Scale

Ravioli

  • 1 package lobster ravioli

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
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Additional Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. 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 carefully and set aside.
  2. 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, being careful not to brown the garlic.
  3. Stir in Cream and Broth: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken or vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Add Lemon and Cheese: Stir in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest. Let the sauce simmer for 2–3 minutes to slightly thicken. Then, add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  5. Combine Ravioli and Sauce: Gently add the cooked lobster ravioli into the skillet, carefully tossing to coat each piece evenly with the lemon butter sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using for a subtle kick.
  6. Serve: Plate the ravioli and generously drizzle with the sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh or high-quality packaged lobster ravioli for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of lemon juice and zest to your taste preference for more or less tanginess.
  • Red pepper flakes are optional but add a nice subtle heat to the dish.
  • Heavy cream can be substituted with half-and-half for a lighter sauce, but the texture will be less rich.
  • For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Serve immediately as ravioli can become soggy if left in the sauce for too long.
