  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Pasta Dough: 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
A pinch of salt

For the Lobster Filling: 1 lb lobster meat (cooked and finely chopped)
½ cup ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Sauce: 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup white wine
½ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Make the Pasta Dough:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and crack the eggs into it.
    • Add olive oil and gently whisk the eggs, slowly incorporating the flour. Continue mixing until the dough comes together.
    • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the Lobster Filling:

    • In a bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, ricotta cheese, lemon zest, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  • Roll out the Pasta:

    • After the dough has rested, divide it into 2 portions. Roll out each portion using a pasta machine or rolling pin until thin (about 1/16-inch thick).
    • Lay the rolled-out pasta on a clean surface and spoon small mounds of the lobster mixture (about 1 teaspoon) along one sheet of pasta, about 1 inch apart.
  • Form the Ravioli:

    • Brush the edges of the pasta with a little water and carefully lay another sheet of pasta over the lobster mixture. Press around each mound of filling to seal the ravioli.
    • Use a pasta cutter or knife to cut out the ravioli and ensure they are sealed well.
  • Cook the Ravioli:

    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon.
  • Prepare the Sauce:

    • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
    • Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until reduced by half.
    • Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for another 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  • Serve:

    • Gently toss the cooked ravioli in the sauce until coated. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

If you don’t want to make your own pasta dough, store-bought fresh pasta sheets can be used for convenience.

Feel free to experiment with different fillings, such as combining lobster with crab meat for a richer flavor.

The ravioli can be frozen before cooking. Just arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, and then store in a sealed bag.
