This thick and creamy Lobster Ravioli Sauce is the best match to any of your favorite seafood ravioli. Flavored with select spices and a tomato base this is the perfect sauce for you to enjoy every last spoonful of.
Key Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup minced white onion
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1-2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 cups heavy cream
- salt and pepper to taste
Along with the above noted ingredients you will need to add the spices that make this so flavorful – Thyme, paprika, dried basil, and tarragon.
How to Make Lobster Ravioli Sauce
- In a large lidded saucepan heat the butter over medium heat. Add in the onion and sauté until softened, around 10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until lightly browned and fragrant.
- Add in the thyme, paprika, tarragon and red pepper flakes, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Slowly pour in the wine, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan, making sure to deglaze the pan completely.
- Stir in the tomato paste, then slowly whisk in the cream, then add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a low simmer, and cook the sauce uncovered for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until the sauce slightly thickens.
- Taste the sauce and add more salt and pepper if needed. Turn the heat down to just enough temperature to keep the sauce warm and place a lid on top while you prepare the ravioli.
- Prepare the ravioli according to the package instructions. Drain then place the ravioli into the saucepan.
- Toss the ravioli lightly with the sauce until coated, then plate individual servings.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired.
Storing and Freezing
Lobster ravioli sauce is always best served fresh, but sometimes there may be leftovers. You can put the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Freezing the sauce may cause it to separate when re heated so it is best to make just what will be eaten at dinner.
This Lobster Ravioli Sauce is packed with flavor and is a great accompaniment to seafood pasta including lobster. It’s a rich sauce that would also be great with a toasted bread to help eat up all the delicious sauce making it a complete meal!
Happy Cooking!
