Ingredients:
For the Lobster Ravioli:
1 package of fresh or frozen lobster ravioli (about 12-15 pieces)
Salt, for boiling water
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for drizzling)
For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
3 tablespoons butter
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (for brightness)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Cook the Ravioli:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli to the boiling water, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook according to the package instructions (usually about 3-5 minutes for fresh ravioli, or 5-7 minutes for frozen ravioli), until they float to the surface and are tender.
Once cooked, remove the ravioli with a slotted spoon and set them aside. You can drizzle them lightly with olive oil to keep them from sticking if desired.
Prepare the Garlic Sauce:
While the ravioli is cooking, begin preparing the garlic sauce. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant and golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
If using white wine, pour it into the skillet to deglaze, scraping any flavorful bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the cream to come to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Once the sauce starts to thicken (about 3-5 minutes), stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue to cook until the sauce reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice to enhance the flavor. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
