Lobster Ravioli Sauce

Time

  • Prep time: 10 Minutes
  • Cook time: 20 Minutes
  • Total time: 30 Minutes

Key Ingredients Needed

  • 3 tablespoons butter. It can be replaced by ghee, avocado oil, or olive oil if needed.
  • 1/4 cup diced sweet onion
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme. Use ground thyme if necessary.
  • 1/2 cup lobster meat, I used 3 lobster tails
  • 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, or full fat coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 package lobster ravioli, or regular cheese ravioli. Gluten free ravioli is a great option for gluten free diets.
  • grated parmesan, optional

Instructions/Step By Step Directions

Step 1: First, prepare ravioli according to package instructions.

Step 2: Add butter, finely diced onion and fresh thyme to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until onions become soft.

Step 3: Meanwhile, cut picked lobster meat into bite sized pieces. Then, add minced garlic and lobster meat to the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until lobster becomes fragrant.

Step 4: Carefully remove thyme sprigs from skillet. Add in white white vinegar and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 5: Pour heavy cream and Old Bay seasoning into the skillet. Bring to a light boil.

Step 6: Once lightly boiling, turn heat down to low medium and simmer until sauce has reached desired thickness. Mine took about 5 minutes to slightly thicken.

Step 7: Add cooked and drained ravioli to the skillet. Toss in sauce. Stir in parmesan cheese if desired.

Step 8: Serve lobster ravioli sauce on top of cooked ravioli. Garnish with fresh thyme and grated parmesan cheese if desired. It best served warm!

Notes/Tips

  • Both regular cheese ravioli and lobster filled ravioli work. For the most lobster flavor, use lobster ravioli.
  • Since I am gluten free, I used gluten free cheese ravioli.
  • Use any type of lobster meat. The tail is usually the most flavorful, so that is what I used.
  • Continue simmering sauce until it has reached desired thickness. It will become slightly thicker as it cooks.
  • Adding in cheese will also thicken the sauce.
  • For dairy free, use olive oil instead of butter and full fat coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
