Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 box Trader Joe's Lobster Ravioli
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup fresh lobster meat
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • Pinch red pepper flakes optional

Equipment

  • Large pot for boiling water
  • Colander for draining pasta
  • Medium skillet or saucepan
  • Wooden spoon or pasta fork
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Tongs for tossing

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat.
  2. Add the lobster ravioli and cook until they float, then continue cooking for 2 to 3 more minutes.
  3. While the ravioli cooks, mince the garlic.
  4. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until foaming, then add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  5. Pour in the white wine and simmer for 1 minute to reduce slightly.
  6. Stir in the lobster meat and heavy cream, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 2 minutes.
  7. Add the lemon juice, season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  8. Drain the ravioli, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water. Add the ravioli to the sauce and toss gently, adding pasta water as needed to adjust consistency.
  9. Divide the pasta into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, and serve immediately.

Notes

Reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency and ensure a silky coating on the ravioli.
