Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Heavy Cream: Use full-fat for that luscious texture that wraps around each bite.
• Garlic: Fresh garlic elevates flavors; sauté until fragrant for maximum impact.
• Parmesan Cheese: Grate fresh cheese for a nutty depth that complements the creaminess beautifully.
• Fresh Basil: A sprinkle of fresh basil brightens up the dish and adds herbal notes.

For the Creamy Sauce:

• Butter: Use unsalted butter for better control over saltiness in your sauce.

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare the Filling: Begin by steaming or boiling fresh lobster until cooked through. Allow it to cool before chopping it into small pieces. Combine chopped lobster meat with garlic, Parmesan cheese, and some heavy cream to create a luscious filling.

Assemble Your Ravioli: Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about one tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Moisten edges with water and fold them into delightful little parcels. Press firmly to seal and eliminate any air bubbles.

Cook the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Gently drop in prepared ravioli and cook until they float to the top—typically 3-5 minutes—indicating they are ready for indulgence.

Create Your Creamy Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter until bubbly but not browned. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant before adding chicken broth and lemon juice. Stir in heavy cream and allow it to simmer gently until thickened.

Toss Everything Together: Once you’ve drained your ravioli (but don’t forget to save some pasta water), gently toss them in the creamy sauce so each piece is generously coated. If needed, add reserved pasta water to achieve desired consistency.

Enjoy your culinary masterpiece! Serve immediately garnished with fresh basil leaves and additional Parmesan cheese if you’re feeling extra fancy.

Now you’ve created an impressive seafood dish that’s sure to leave everyone at your table feeling loved—and maybe just slightly envious of your culinary prowess!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by boiling your pasta while you prepare the creamy sauce. Cook the lobster until just tender, then combine everything in a large pan to meld flavors perfectly.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap out lobster for shrimp or mushrooms if you’re feeling adventurous. A sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dash of lemon zest can elevate the dish further.

Storing & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently on low heat to prevent overcooking the pasta or lobster.

The first time I made lobster ravioli with creamy sauce, my friends were so impressed they demanded I make it every week! Their excited cheers echoed my kitchen, making cooking feel like a celebration.
