Pasta Dough

Method

Pasta Dough

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and crack in the eggs and olive oil. Mix together until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Lobster Filling

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, crème fraîche, mascarpone, chopped tarragon, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Lobster Sauce

  1. 4

    Make the Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  2. 5

    Add Stock and Cream

    Pour in the lobster stock and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 6

    Roll out the Pasta

    After the dough has rested, divide it into four pieces. Roll out each piece into thin sheets using a pasta machine or a rolling pin.

  2. 7

    Form the Ravioli

    Place a teaspoon of the lobster filling on one sheet of pasta, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Lightly brush the edges of the pasta with water. Place another sheet on top and press around each filling to seal.

  3. 8

    Cook the Ravioli

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the ravioli into the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Plate the ravioli and drizzle with the lobster sauce. Garnish with fresh tarragon before serving.
