The Easiest Lobster Ravioli Recipe with Creamy Lemon Butter Sauce


  • Author: Hannah

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package of store-bought fresh or frozen ravioli (preferably lobster-filled, or you can use cheese or spinach ravioli for a simple option)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

  • 1 tsp lemon zest

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

  • Cook the Ravioli:

    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

    • Cook the lobster ravioli according to the package instructions (typically around 4-5 minutes if fresh, or 7-8 minutes if frozen).

    • Once cooked, drain the ravioli, reserving a bit of the cooking water.

  • Make the Creamy Sauce:

    • While the ravioli is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    • Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

    • Add butter to the pan and allow it to melt, then pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine.

  • Finish the Sauce:

    • Let the cream simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

    • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

    • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Combine Ravioli and Sauce:

    • Gently add the cooked ravioli to the skillet, tossing to coat them in the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen it up.

 

  • Serve:

    • Plate the ravioli and drizzle with the creamy sauce.

    • Garnish with fresh parsley and a little extra Parmesan if desired.

    • Serve immediately and enjoy this quick yet luxurious dish!
