Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the lobster ravioli and cook according to package instructions, usually 3-4 minutes or until they float to the top. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
- 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, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Stir in the heavy cream and broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Do not let it boil vigorously.
- Add the lemon juice and zest to the sauce, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes to slightly thicken and infuse with citrus flavor.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese gradually while stirring constantly until melted and smooth.
- Gently add the cooked lobster ravioli to the skillet with the sauce, tossing gently to coat each piece. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and optional red pepper flakes. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
For a creamier sauce, add more heavy cream. Substitute crab or shrimp ravioli for similar results. Extra lemon zest enhances fresh citrus flavor. Best enjoyed fresh; leftovers can be refrigerated up to 2 days.
