How to make this best lobster ravioli cream sauce: step by step

Make the sauce

Cut the onion into small pieces and sauté the diced onion in the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat until the onion starts turning brown (will take about three to five minutes). Add minced garlic and sauté for one more minute.

Stir in the wine and add the rosemary and thyme. Let the sauce cook for two minutes and regularly stir gently.

Add the juiced lemon, add the heavy cream and cook for another ten minutes until the sauce gets a creamier texture, regularly stir gently. During this time, you should start cooking the ravioli. Double-check on the package how long the lobster ravioli needs to cook. I will explain in below chapter how you have to cook the ravioli.

Add the lobster meat or crayfish meat to the sauce and let it cook for five more minutes. Stir regularly to prevent the sauce from getting burned. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Your cream sauce is now ready to serve with the cooked ravioli.

Cook the ravioli

Check the packaging of your lobster ravioli to check how long you need to cook it; it will probably be somewhere around 6 minutes. First, bring your water to a boil and add some kosher salt. You can also add olive oil to prevent the ravioli from sticking together.

Add the ravioli and let it cook for as long as the instructions say it needs to cook. Once the cooking time is over, place a strainer in your kitchen sink and pour your ravioli into it so that your pasta water drains away.

Plate the ravioli and sauce

Put your ravioli on a plate and scoop enough of the sauce on top of it. You can finish off this delicious lobster ravioli sauce with some fresh parsley or some ground cheese like parmesan.

Wine pairing

Serve a Chardonnay wine with this meal. Chardonnay can be buttery or citrusy, which both goes perfect with this meal as we use both butter and lemon in this recipe.
