How to Make Lobster Ravioli in Lemon Butter Sauce
In a skillet, warm the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once melted and bubbly, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the fresh lemon juice and zesty lemon peel.
Sprinkle in salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir in the grated Parmesan until it melts into a creamy sauce, about 2-3 minutes.
Prepare the lobster ravioli according to package instructions, usually taking just 3-5 minutes. Once cooked, drain and gently add to the sauce.
Carefully toss the ravioli in the sauce until well coated. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
For optimal texture, consider storing the lobster ravioli and sauce separately if not serving immediately.
