Ingredients
Scale
Seafood Ravioli
- 1 (9 oz) package lobster ravioli (store-bought or homemade)
Sauce
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Cook the ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lobster ravioli according to package instructions, usually about 3–4 minutes, until tender and cooked through.
- Prepare the sauce: While the ravioli cooks, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- Add wine and simmer: If using, pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly and concentrate flavor.
- Finish the sauce: Stir in heavy cream, fresh lemon juice, and crushed red pepper flakes. Let the sauce simmer gently for another 2–3 minutes until it slightly thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Toss ravioli in sauce: Drain the cooked ravioli carefully and gently toss them in the garlic butter sauce, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving warm.
Notes
- For added richness, increase the heavy cream to 1/2 cup.
- You can add chopped cooked shrimp or scallops to enhance the seafood flavor.
- Serve with crusty bread or a green salad on the side for a complete meal.
