A quick and elegant dish featuring tender lobster ravioli folded into a rich, creamy tomato sauce, perfect for special occasions or a comforting weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 pieces fresh or frozen lobster ravioli
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion (yellow or white)
  • 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes (preferably San Marzano)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil; water should taste like the sea. This takes about 10 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Add minced garlic and chopped onion; sauté for 3–4 minutes until translucent and fragrant but not browned.
  3. Add crushed tomatoes and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well and simmer gently for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Warm through for 2–3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Drop the lobster ravioli into the boiling water. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until they float to the surface. Remove gently with a slotted spoon.
  6. Fold the cooked ravioli into the skillet with the creamy tomato sauce. Toss gently to coat without tearing the pasta. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh basil.
  7. Serve immediately, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a grind of black pepper if desired.

Notes

Do not overcook ravioli; they are done when they float. Add cream off the heat or on low to prevent curdling. Use gentle stirring to avoid tearing ravioli. Reserve some pasta water to adjust sauce consistency if needed.
