Instructions
Cook the Ravioli
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster ravioli and cook until al dente (4-6 minutes for fresh, 8-10 minutes for frozen). Drain and set aside.
Make the Sauce
In a skillet, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in the zest of 1 lemon and the juice of 1 lemon, letting the mixture simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Creamy Perfection
Lower the heat, pour in 1/2 cup of heavy cream, and stir to mix. Add 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine & Toss
Gently add the cooked ravioli to the skillet, tossing them in the luscious sauce. Adjust the thickness with a splash of pasta water if needed.
Plate & Serve
Divide the ravioli onto plates, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges for an extra citrusy kick!
Notes
Spice it Up
Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat or extra seafood like shrimp or scallops for a heartier dish.
