    This lobster ravioli sauce is incredibly simple and easy to make, but still bursting with so much fresh flavor. It pairs perfectly with lobster ravioli adding zesty lemon flavor and sweet nuttiness from parmesan cheese!

    I love to buy lobster ravioli from the refrigerator section at the grocery store, but you can certainly make your own as well. I love using store-bought ravioli because the meal comes together in just 20 minutes, but still looks fancy! Don't forget to garnish with fresh parsley, lemon zest, more parmesan cheese and black pepper!

    Sere with crusty bread to soak up the extra sauce and a glass of white wine!

    • Simple but elegant dinner. You only need minimal ingredients to create an elegant lobster ravioli dinner. Serve with a glass of white wine.

    Ingredients

    • Butter
    • Yellow onion
    • Garlic
    • White wine
    • Heavy whipping cream
    • Salt
    • Pepper
    • Ground thyme
    • Ground nutmeg
    • Lemon juice
    • Parmesan cheese

    Ingredient Notes

    • White wine: I like to drink Sauvignon Blanc, so that's also what I use to make the sauce, but any dry white wine will work!
    • White wine substitute: If desired, you can swap the white wine for chicken broth.
    • Parmesan cheese: Freshly grated cheese tastes better and melts best! If possible, avoid buying pre-shredded parmesan cheese.
    • Lobster ravioli: Use your favorite lobster ravioli brand or make homemade lobster ravioli! I prefer to buy pre-made lobster ravioli.

    How to Make Lobster Ravioli Sauce

    Lobster ravioli sauce is incredibly simple to make and bursting with fresh lemon flavor! Let's talk about how to make it! Scroll down to the recipe card for the full recipe.

    1. Start with aromatics. Melt butter in a skillet with diced onion. Cook until the onion is softened then add garlic. This creates a strong flavor base for the sauce!
    2. Deglaze the skillet. I like to use wine to deglaze the skillet, while adding additional flavor.
    3. Make it creamy. Add heavy cream and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
    4. Season the sauce. Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg and thyme, then mix in lemon juice and freshly grated parmesan cheese, which will also help to thicken the sauce!
    5. Enjoy! Serve the sauce over freshly cooked lobster ravioli and garnish with lemon zest, fresh parsley, parmesan cheese and black pepper.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Where can I buy prepared lobster ravioli?

    I've found prepared lobster ravioli at a few of my local grocery stores. It's in the refrigerator aisle next to all the other ravioli. Here's where I've seen it:

    • Trader Joe's
    • Aldi
    • HyVee
    • Walmart

    Should frozen ravioli be thawed before cooking?

    You do not need to thaw frozen ravioli before cooking. To cook frozen ravioli, bring a pot of water to a boil and add the frozen ravioli. Boil for 3-4 minutes. As the ravioli cooks, the frozen ravioli will separate.

    What sauce goes well with lobster?

    I love this creamy lemon sauce for lobster ravioli! It's a buttery parmesan cream sauce with a hint of real lemon that pairs perfectly with lobster.

    Is lobster ravioli better with white or red sauce?

    The light flavor of the white sauce pairs well with lobster ravioli without overpowering the flavor of the lobster.

    What should I serve with lobster ravioli?

    I like to serve lobster ravioli with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables and crusty bread to soak up the extra sauce! Here are two bread recipes you'll love:

    • No-Knead Crusty Artisan Bread
    • Easy Sourdough Bread

    Tips & Variations

    • Reserve pasta water. Before straining the ravioli, reserve ½-1 cup of pasta water. If needed, use the pasta water to thin the cream sauce if it becomes too thick.
    • Grate your own parmesan cheese. Freshly grated parmesan cheese tastes better and melts best versus buying pre-shredded parmesan cheese.
    • Use your favorite ravioli! This lemon cream sauce is great with more than just lobster ravioli. I also love to serve this sauce with crab ravioli, cheese ravioli and spinach ravioli. Lots of options!

    Storage & Reheating

    Storage.

    Once cooked, lobster ravioli and the sauce should be consumed within 3-4 days.

    Freezing.

    I do not recommend freezing lobster ravioli sauce. But when it comes to ravioli, you can freeze uncooked lobster ravioli for up to 3 months.

    Reheating.

    Stovetop: Reheat the ravioli and sauce together over medium-low heat for about 5-10 minutes, or until heated through. If needed, thin out the sauce with chicken broth or heavy cream.

    Microwave: Reheat the ravioli and sauce together in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. If needed, thin out the sauce with chicken broth or heavy cream.
