Instructions
- Cook the Ravioli:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the lobster ravioli and cook according to package instructions (usually about 3–4 minutes, or until they float to the top).
Drain and set aside. - Make the Lemon Butter Sauce:
In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Stir in the heavy cream and broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. - Add Lemon and Cheese:
Stir in the lemon juice and zest, and let the sauce simmer for 2–3 minutes to slightly thicken.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. - Combine Ravioli and Sauce:
Gently add the cooked lobster ravioli to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly in the sauce.
Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). - Serve:
Plate the ravioli and drizzle with the sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional Parmesan if desired.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can cook the lobster ravioli and make the sauce ahead of time. Simply store the ravioli and sauce separately in the fridge and combine them when ready to serve.
- Customize: Feel free to use a store-bought or homemade lobster ravioli. You can also add sautéed shrimp for extra protein.
