Lobster Ravioli With Jumbo Lump Crab Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Filling

   In a mixing bowl, combine cooked lobster meat, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg yolk, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

2. 2

   Make the Dough

   On a clean surface, mound the flour and create a well in the center. Add eggs and water into the well. Gradually mix the flour into the eggs using a fork until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Roll Out the Dough

   After resting, divide the dough into quarters. Roll out one piece at a time to about 1/16 inch thickness using a pasta machine or rolling pin. Keep the remaining dough covered.

4. 4

   Fill the Ravioli

   Place small mounds of the lobster filling (about 1 tsp each) on half of the rolled-out dough. Brush around the filling with a bit of water to help seal. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press down to seal, cutting out each ravioli with a pasta cutter or knife.

5. 5

   Cook the Ravioli

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add the ravioli and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon.

6. 6

   Prepare the Crab Sauce

   In a skillet, gently heat some butter over medium heat and add jumbo lump crab meat. Stir and cook for 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. 7

   Serve

   Plate the ravioli and spoon the crab sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
