Instructions

 

• First of all, before you get started, it is essential to remember that this recipe requires cooking. You will need to cook lobster tail before you can use it to make the perfect lobster ravioli. We just prefer baking the lobster tail for added flavor. You could boil it if you think that’s easier. For boiling, you can add one teaspoon of salt for every four cups of water and then simmer for one minute per ounce. So if the tail is 4 oz, boil it for four minutes.
• Split the lobster tail in half and brush with oil, salt, and pepper before baking it for 10-15 minutes at 425°F. Bake until the meat is done. If the lobster meat is translucent, give it more time to cook. When the meat turns white, it means the lobster meat is cooked. You can then remove the shell and chop the lobster meat.
• Prepare some brown butter by cooking butter in a large skillet for five minutes or until golden. Add garlic and some red pepper flakes and cook again for half a minute.
• Put the chopped lobster meat in a bowl and then add the butter, stir in the ricotta, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and parsley. Now start preparing the sauce by heating the butter and olive oil over medium heat and adding the shallots. Cook for five minutes. Add garlic and cook again for half a minute.
• Stir in the tomatoes and simmer for fifteen minutes before adding the Parmesan, cream, basil, and parsley. Cook for another ten minutes. Adjust for seasoning if required.
• You can start making your ravioli once the sauce is ready. First, flour the pasta mould and then lay a sheet of pasta. You can then press down to make wells. Add a tablespoon of filling in every well you make, and then use your fingers to dab water along the edges before laying the second sheet of pasta on top. Use a rolling pin to seal it by running over.
• Line a pan with parchment paper and put it in the ravioli. Use a damp towel to cover it, so it doesn’t dry out. Repeat with all the ravioli you have made. Put the ravioli in a large pot of boiling salted water until the ravioli starts to float. It should take about one or two minutes. Remove the ravioli, then you can add in the creamy tomato sauce. Enjoy!
