Lobster Ravioli with Tomato Basil Sauce

August 8, 2023

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.

Delicious homemade lobster ravioli served with a fresh tomato basil sauce.
Servings 4 people
Prep Time 1 hour
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 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.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli in the boiling water until they float to the top, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the ravioli from the water and set aside.
  • 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.
  • Serve the lobster ravioli with the tomato basil sauce. Enjoy!

    I tried making this but ended up using crab meat instead of lobster. It was OK, but not the same. Lobster is too expensive!

    What kind of lobster meat do you use??? I’m just a bit confused. I’ve only eaten it in restaurants.

    My wonton wrappers fell apart while boiling. What did I do wrong? Any tips?

    Could use some more spice. Didn’t taste the red pepper at all. 🤷‍♂️

    Too much work for me. I’ll stick to my mac and cheese. Just saying!

    Looks good but so complicated! I doubt I could actually make those ravioli. They always break on me.

      I totally get it! Ravioli can be tricky, but practice makes perfect! Maybe try using store-bought dough to start?

    Can I use shrimp instead of lobster? Lobster is too expensive for me.

    Can I substitute the lobster? Like, maybe using shrimp or something? Lobster is too fancy for me. 😅

    Wow this tasted great! But my mom says ravioli is made with pasta dough, not wontons. So, idk. Thoughts?

      Your mom might be right about traditional ravioli, but using wontons is a fun twist! I think it could still taste great. Don’t stress about it!

    Delicious! Just make sure you seal those wrappers tight or they burst in the water, trust me!

  14. User avatar elke.schmeler says:

    Yum! But seriously, how do you get the wontons to seal properly? Mine always open up when boiling. Such a messy cook! 🥴

    I don’t know… it seems a bit complicated. Can I just buy frozen ravioli instead? Anyone tried that?

    1. 5 stars
      I get that it looks complicated, but homemade is so much better! Frozen ravioli just ain’t the same. You got this!

  16. 4 stars
    Wow! So fancy! Lobster is my fav! But how do ya get fresh lobster? I only see it in stores frozen.

  17. 5 stars
    Yum! So rich and tasty! My new favorite dish. 😋

      It looks fancy, but it seems like a lot of work. Is it really worth it? 🤨

    Lobster and wonton wrappers? Sounds fancy but maybe too much work for a weeknight.

    1. User avatar anonymous_hacker says:

      3 stars
      Nah, it ain’t that fancy. Just boil some water and make a sauce, what’s the big deal? I can do it in 30 mins max!

    2. User avatar rickiestmorty says:

      I totally get that! It looks fancy but doesn’t seem too hard once you get the hang of it. Weeknight dinners can be fun!

    I followed the recipe but my ravioli fell apart in the water. What did I do wrong? I thought wonton wrappers were supposed to be better!

    Too much cheese! It overpowered the lobster flavor. Next time, I’ll cut back.

    Too many steps for me. I just wanted to make pasta… not an art project.

      I get it! It does seem like a lot of work. Maybe just make simple pasta or buy pre-made ravioli next time?

      But it’s supposed to be fun! Cooking can be an art, you know. Plus, lobster! 🦞
