Lobster Ravioli with Tomato Basil Sauce

May 4, 2026

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. Radish salad is also great addition.

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!

    It was ok, but my ravioli turned out more like mush. Maybe I cooked them too long?

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

    This recipe is a masterpiece! I used some leftover lobster and it turned out divine. My family was so impressed! ❤️

    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?

    Wow, I didn’t think I could make this at home. Can’t wait to impress my friends! 🍝

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

    This recipe is AMAZING! The lobster is so fresh and the flavors are just perfect. 5 stars!

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

  10. 3 stars
    What even is lobster? Can’t you just use crab meat or something for cheap? 🤔

    I don’t think the instructions were clear. My ravioli fell apart. Disappointed.

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

    1. User avatar korey.hyatt says:

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

  13. User avatar candy.walker25 says:

    These look great but way too much prep for me. Who’s got time for this?

    1. User avatar jerrold.ullrich says:

      Honestly, it’s not that hard if you break it down! I did it last weekend and it was so worth the time. Just put on some music and enjoy the cooking!

    2. 4 stars
      I totally get it! This does seem like a lot of work. Maybe you could try a simpler recipe or buy pre-made ravioli? But it does sound delicious!

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

    I don’t like seafood, so I changed it to chicken. Still tasted good with the tomato sauce. Not really lobster ravioli tho.

    1. User avatar hildegard.gusikowski64 says:

      4 stars
      Chicken is great! Glad it still worked for you. I might try that too!

  16. 3 stars
    Can I substitute the lobster? Like, maybe using shrimp or something? Lobster is too fancy for me. 😅

  17. 2 stars
    Sounds fancy but I don’t think I can make it. Wontons are tricky. I might just stick to pizza.

    1. User avatar wyatt.rempel81 says:

      4 stars
      Don’t worry! Wontons might seem hard, but once you get the hang of it, it’s fun! Pizza is good too, but this could be a nice change. You got this!

    I tried making this but it didn’t turn out well. Maybe I overcooked the ravioli. 😟

  21. User avatar will.fisher says:

    It turned out ok, but I think the sauce was too watery. Maybe I added too many tomatoes? I’ll try tweaking it next time.

    1. 4 stars
      Sounds like a solid plan! Tweaking recipes is the best way to make them your own. Next time, try reducing the tomatoes a bit or simmering the sauce longer to thicken it up.

    Waste of time! It took forever to make and didn’t even taste that great. Plus, who has fresh lobster around?!

  23. User avatar ArabianNights says:

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

    1. User avatar rich.landlord says:

      4 stars
      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!

  24. User avatar goldfish says:

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

  25. User avatar elke.schmeler says:

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

    Too hard, I burnt the sauce! How do u simmer? Should’ve read this recipe more carefully.

    1. User avatar maryln.treutel says:

      4 stars
      Don’t worry! Simmering just means cooking it gently, so keep it on low heat. It’ll be fine next time! 😊

    2. 3 stars
      I always burn stuff too! Honestly, you just need to pay attention more, or try cooking on low heat, maby? 😅

    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!

    Delicious! My family loved it. Never had lobster ravioli before, but I’m a fan now.

    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:

      4 stars
      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!
