🛒 Ingredients:
To prepare this stunning lobster ravioli dish, you will need the following ingredients:
First, grab 12 lobster ravioli – you can either use store-bought or make your own if you’re feeling adventurous. The lobster-filled pasta will serve as the luxurious base of this dish, bringing that rich seafood flavor to every bite. 🦞
For the creamy sauce, you’ll need 1/2 cup of unsalted butter to create the smooth, velvety base. This will be complemented by the zest and juice of 1 lemon, which will provide the perfect balance of brightness and acidity to cut through the richness of the butter and cream. 🍋
Speaking of cream, you’ll also need 1/4 cup of heavy cream to add that indulgent texture that makes this sauce so irresistible. 🥛
To flavor the sauce further, 2 cloves of garlic, minced finely, will bring in a delicious savory element. 🧄 You’ll also want to season the dish with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring all the flavors come together in harmony. 🧂
For garnish, sprinkle a bit of fresh parsley, chopped finely, to bring a fresh, vibrant color and flavor to the dish. 🌿 Lastly, if you like a touch of richness, add grated Parmesan for a final finishing touch. 🧀
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Cook the Ravioli:
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop in the lobster ravioli and cook them according to the package instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes. Once done, drain the ravioli and set them aside to rest while you prepare the sauce. 🦞
2. Make the Sauce:
In a large skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté it for about 1 minute, just until the garlic becomes fragrant. This step helps to infuse the butter with the garlic flavor. 🧄
3. Add Lemon:
Next, mix in the lemon juice and lemon zest to the skillet. Stir it in and cook for another minute to allow the lemon’s fresh, bright flavor to infuse the sauce. This will add a wonderful tang to balance the richness of the butter and cream. 🍋
4. Incorporate Cream:
Lower the heat slightly and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Stir regularly to make sure the cream blends beautifully with the butter and lemon. Season with salt and pepper to taste to enhance the flavor. 🧂
5. Combine Ravioli and Sauce:
Once the sauce has thickened, gently add the cooked ravioli into the skillet, tossing them gently to coat them with the luscious sauce. Let the ravioli cook in the sauce for an additional 1-2 minutes so they soak up all the delicious flavors. 🍽️
6. Serve:
Carefully plate the ravioli, making sure each piece is generously coated with the creamy lemon butter sauce. Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness. If you’re feeling indulgent, sprinkle grated Parmesan over the top for a savory finish. Serve and enjoy this rich, satisfying meal with your loved ones! 🌿🧀
Tipp:
For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine or a bit of lemon zest to the sauce for an added tangy punch. This dish pairs beautifully with a chilled glass of Chardonnay or your favorite white wine.
Serving Suggestions:
To make this meal even more special, consider pairing it with a light, crisp side salad with a simple lemon vinaigrette or some sautéed vegetables like asparagus or spinach. The lemony, buttery sauce will beautifully complement the fresh, crisp flavors of your sides.
