Lobster Ravioli with Tomato Basil Sauce

Lobster Ravioli with Tomato Basil Sauce is a luxurious, flavorful pasta dish that brings together the delicate sweetness of lobster-filled ravioli with the rich, aromatic flavors of a fresh tomato basil sauce. This dish strikes the perfect balance between indulgence and freshness, making it a standout choice for any special occasion or an elegant dinner at home.

The ravioli are the star of this dish, filled with succulent lobster meat that’s been mixed with ricotta and seasonings to create a creamy, rich filling. The homemade or store-bought ravioli are tender and perfectly cooked, offering a soft, pillowy texture with every bite. The lobster filling is light yet rich, with the sweet, briny flavor of the lobster coming through beautifully.

The tomato basil sauce is simple yet packed with flavor. Fresh tomatoes are sautéed with garlic and olive oil to create a vibrant, savory sauce. The addition of fresh basil adds a fragrant, herby note that complements the sweetness of the lobster filling. The sauce is simmered just long enough to allow the flavors to meld together, creating a light but robust base for the ravioli.

Once the ravioli is cooked and drained, it is gently tossed in the tomato basil sauce, allowing the flavors to meld together. The ravioli absorbs the sauce while still maintaining its delicate texture, and the fresh basil adds a fragrant touch that lifts the entire dish. A sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino cheese on top gives the dish an extra layer of richness and depth.

Lobster Ravioli with Tomato Basil Sauce is a perfect dish for a special meal, date night, or when you want to treat yourself to something luxurious yet not overly complicated. It’s both comforting and elegant, with the perfect balance of delicate seafood and fresh, herbaceous tomato sauce.

In summary, this dish brings together the sweetness of lobster-filled ravioli with a savory tomato basil sauce, creating a sophisticated, indulgent meal. It’s a beautifully balanced pasta dish that’s both fresh and rich, making it an unforgettable choice for any occasion.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 pound lobster meat fresh
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
• 2 tbsp parsley chopped fresh
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 package wonton wrappers
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• onion small, diced
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 can crushed tomatoes 14 ounces
• 1/4 cup basil chopped fresh
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

 

• In a large bowl, combine the lobster meat, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
• Place a small spoonful of the lobster mixture onto a wonton wrapper. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water and fold in half to form a triangle. Press the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining mixture and wrappers.

• In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
