This lobster ravioli with lemon butter sauce is rich, elegant, and surprisingly simple to prepare. Tender lobster filling pairs perfectly with the creamy, citrusy sauce, making it an indulgent yet approachable dish for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large shallot, finely diced
  • 2 teaspoons chopped parsley
  • 2 cups lobster tail meat (about 4 small 5.5 oz tails)
  • 1 teaspoon limoncello or lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Asiago cheese (or Parmesan/Pecorino Romano)
  • 1 tablespoon mascarpone cheese (or cream cheese)
  • 1 package won ton wrappers (or fresh ravioli pasta dough)
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 4 tablespoons limoncello (or lemon juice)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, cut into 1/2” cubes
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté the finely diced shallot until soft and fragrant.
  2. Add lobster tail meat, parsley, and limoncello (or lemon juice), cooking until the lobster is opaque.
  3. Chop the lobster into small pieces and mix with ricotta, Asiago, and mascarpone to create the filling.
  4. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each won ton wrapper, brush edges with water, and seal tightly to form ravioli.
  5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil and cook ravioli in batches for 3–4 minutes, or until they float to the top.
  6. For the sauce, melt butter cubes gently in a pan, then stir in limoncello, lemon juice, and cream until smooth and velvety.
  7. Toss cooked ravioli with the sauce and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Wonton wrappers make this recipe much quicker than rolling pasta dough.
  • For a budget-friendly version, substitute shrimp or crab for lobster.
  • A pinch of red pepper flakes in the filling adds a spicy kick.
  • Truffle oil drizzled into the sauce makes it extra indulgent.
  • Uncooked filled ravioli can be frozen and boiled directly from frozen.
