Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound of fresh lobster meat
- 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 package of wonton wrappers
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon of lemon zest
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together 1 pound of fresh lobster meat, 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Place a small spoonful of the lobster mixture onto a wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water and place another wonton wrapper on top, pressing to seal. Repeat with the remaining mixture and wrappers.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the cooked lobster ravioli. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of chopped fresh chives and serve immediately.
Lobster ravioli, a luxurious Italian-American dish, has a rich history dating back to the early 20th century. This delectable creation is a fusion of Italian pasta-making and American seafood indulgence. The dish gained popularity in the United States, particularly in coastal regions like New England, where lobster is abundant. Renowned chefs like Lidia Bastianich and Mario Batali have elevated this dish, infusing it with their own unique twists. The succulent lobster filling, enveloped in delicate pasta, is perfectly complemented by a tangy lemon butter drizzle, adding a burst of citrusy flavor. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in upscale Italian restaurants and seafood eateries, where chefs meticulously source the freshest lobster and masterfully craft the ravioli. The key to perfecting this dish lies in the balance of flavors - the sweetness of the lobster, the richness of the pasta, and the zesty brightness of the lemon butter drizzle. For those looking to recreate this dish at home, sourcing high-quality lobster and mastering the art of making fresh pasta are essential. Alternatively, some chefs opt for a more contemporary approach, incorporating ingredients like tarragon or capers into the lemon butter drizzle for an added depth of flavor. Whether enjoyed in a fine dining establishment or lovingly prepared at home, lobster ravioli with a lemon butter drizzle is a true culinary delight that continues to captivate food enthusiasts worldwide.
