Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Pasta Ingredients
  • 1 package Lobster ravioli Follow package size
Sauce Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter Unsalted recommended
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced, fresh for best aroma
  • 1/3 cup Heavy cream Use 35% heavy cream for silkiness
  • Fresh herbs Such as parsley or basil, chopped
  • Salt To taste
  • Pepper To taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat a large pot of salted water and cook the lobster ravioli according to the package directions; they usually float when done.
Cooking the Sauce
  1. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a wide skillet over medium heat until it foams and smells nutty.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and just golden, not brown.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and stir; bring the sauce to a gentle simmer so it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper; taste and adjust slowly.
Combining and Serving
  1. Drain the ravioli, reserving a splash of pasta water, and add them to the skillet; toss gently so each piece gets glossy sauce.
  2. If the sauce feels too thick, add a tablespoon of reserved pasta water until it loosens.
  3. Sprinkle chopped herbs over the top and serve immediately while warm and silky.

Notes

Time-saver: Use pre-minced garlic in a pinch, but add it later to avoid bitterness. Common mistake: Don’t overcook ravioli; drain as soon as they float. Variations: Add lemon zest or red pepper flakes for brightness and heat.
