Description
A rich and flavorful dish featuring homemade lobster ravioli coated in a simple butter sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh pasta dough
- 8 ounces cooked lobster meat, chopped
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the ravioli filling: In a bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg yolk, and 1 tablespoon of parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
- Roll out the pasta dough thinly. Place spoonfuls of the filling onto one sheet of pasta, spaced apart. Cover with another sheet of pasta, pressing around the filling to seal and remove air pockets. Cut into individual ravioli.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
- While the ravioli cook, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Drain the cooked ravioli and add them to the skillet with the butter sauce. Toss gently to coat.
- Serve the ravioli immediately, garnished with the remaining parsley. Offer lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- For a richer sauce, you can add a splash of heavy cream to the butter sauce.
- Ensure the ravioli are well-sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
