For the Ravioli (Dough)
Wonton wrappers or fresh pasta sheets
For the Creamy Sauce
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, ricotta cheese, Parmesan, lemon zest, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 2: Assemble the Ravioli
Place 1 teaspoon of lobster filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
Moisten the edges with water, then place another wrapper on top or fold the sheet over.
Press the edges firmly to seal, removing all air pockets.
Repeat until all filling is used.
Step 3: Cook the Ravioli
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the ravioli gently and cook for 3–4 minutes or until they float to the top.
Remove carefully with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Step 4: Prepare the Creamy Sauce
In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
Cook for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the cooked ravioli to the pan and gently toss to coat.
Step 5: Serve
Top with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy the rich, creamy flavors.
Variations
Add chili flakes for heat
Use shrimp instead of lobster
Add spinach to the filling
Use sage butter instead of cream sauce
Storage Tips
Refrigerate leftovers for 1–2 days
Reheat gently in a saucepan with a splash of cream
Do not freeze assembled ravioli with ricotta—it changes texture
