Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 package (9-12 ounces) lobster ravioli

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (1 tablespoon salt per 4 quarts water).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter until foaming.
  3. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes; cook 30-45 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth; stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer (about 2 minutes).
  5. Gradually sprinkle in grated Parmesan cheese while whisking constantly until melted and smooth.
  6. Drop lobster ravioli into boiling water and cook according to package directions (usually 3-4 minutes).
  7. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water before draining ravioli.
  8. Add lemon juice to sauce and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  9. If sauce is too thick, stir in a splash of reserved pasta water until desired consistency.
  10. Add drained ravioli to skillet with sauce; gently toss to coat evenly.
  11. Let simmer together for 30 seconds so ravioli absorbs sauce.
  12. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

Don’t rush the garlic; keep heat at medium and stir constantly to avoid bitterness. Let cream come to room temperature before adding to prevent curdling. Always reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency. Grate Parmesan fresh for smoothest sauce. Cook ravioli al dente to avoid mushiness.
