Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound lobster meat, cooked and chopped
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package of wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
- Fresh chives for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together 1 pound of cooked and chopped lobster meat, 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Place a small spoonful of the lobster mixture onto a wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water and place another wonton wrapper on top. 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 batches for about 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then slowly whisk in 1 cup of heavy cream.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon of saffron threads and 1/4 cup of chicken broth. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of grated Pecorino Romano cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve, place the cooked ravioli on a plate and spoon the creamy saffron sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh chives and additional grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy!
