Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 whole Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Cooked lobster meat, chopped
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 1 quarter cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Shallots, minced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Crushed tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup White wine
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
• 1 pinch Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Step 1: Make the pasta dough. On a clean surface, make a mound with 2 cups of all-purpose flour. Create a well in the center and add 3 large eggs, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Gradually incorporate the flour into the wet ingredients with a fork.

Step 2

Step 2: Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Step 3: Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of chopped cooked lobster meat, 1 cup of ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.

Step 4

Step 4: Roll out the pasta dough into thin sheets using a pasta machine or rolling pin. Cut the sheets into strips about 4 inches wide.

Step 5

Step 5: Spoon 1 teaspoon of lobster filling onto the pasta sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. Brush a little water around each filling mound to help seal the ravioli. Lay another sheet of pasta over the first and press around the mounds to seal.

Step 6

Step 6: Cut the ravioli using a pasta cutter or knife, ensuring each piece is sealed well. Set aside on a floured surface.

Step 7

Step 7: For the sauce, melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of minced shallots and 2 cloves of minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and soft, about 2 minutes.

Step 8

Step 8: Pour in 1/4 cup of white wine, and let it simmer for another 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of crushed tomatoes and let it cook gently for about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Step 9: Reduce the heat and add 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few more minutes until slightly thickened. Add 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh basil and a pinch of black pepper.

Step 10

Step 10: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli in batches for about 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon and add directly into the sauce.

Step 11

Step 11: Toss the ravioli gently in the sauce to coat. Serve hot with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.
