LOBSTER RAVIOLI WITH CRABMEAT CREAM SAUCE
Steps:
- For the Lobster Ravioli: In a large saute pan, add the butter and melt. Add the garlic and shallots and saute until golden brown. Add lobster, crab, and chives and saute 2 to 3 minutes. Add Cognac and reduce for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for 30 minutes, until room temperature. Chop lobster mixture into small chunks. In a large bowl, combine lobster mixture and ricotta and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
- Lay out the first piece of Pasta Dough on the table and place 1/4-ounce mounds of stuffing 2 inches apart. Using a pastry brush, brush egg white around each bit of stuffing, making the dough damp not wet. Take the second piece and cover the bottom piece with the stuffing. Press around each ravioli being careful not to squeeze the stuffing out. Using a round ravioli cutter, cut each ravioli round and put on a sheet pan sprinkled with semolina. Gently place ravioli in boiling water and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente.
- For the sauce: Using a 12-inch saute pan at medium heat, add butter, shallots, and saute until shallots are translucent. Add the crabmeat and saute for about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the saute pan from the burner and add Cognac then place pan back on the heat to cook off the alcohol. (Please beware: the Cognac will create a large flame.) Once the flame stops, add the tomato sauce and cream with salt and cook until it reduces half way and becomes creamy. Add the cooked ravioli to the sauce and let cook together for about 1 minute before serving. Garnish with chives.
- Add all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl until all ingredients are blended. Place mixture on countertop and knead until the texture is smooth and well mixed. Separate the pasta dough into 2 equal pieces and put one piece aside. Flour the first piece, just enough to prevent sticking and roll out with a rolling pin to about 1/8th-inch thick. Repeat procedure with second piece making it as close to the shape as the first.
LOBSTER RAVIOLI WITH SHRIMP CREAM SAUCE RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. When it's ready, add the ravioli and turn off the heat. Cover and let cook gently in the very hot water while you prepare the sauce. In large heavy sauté pan, sauté the garlic in the butter blend over medium heat briefly. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper, then the wine. Let the wine bubble up, then add the broth and stir till everything is mixed well. Add shrimp and cook about 2 minutes, then stir in cream, parsley, and cheese. Taste to adjust seasonings, adding more salt if necessary. If sauce is too thick, add more broth. Remove from heat, cover and let the shrimp sit till the pasta is cooked and drained and ready for the sauce. Check the shrimp before serving to be sure it's done, but shrimp doesn't take long to cook. I used the 21-30 size which was perfect for this dish. If desired, top with additional Parmesan cheese when serving, but don't overpower the seafood by adding too much. Serve with a green salad, if desired.
LOBSTER RAVIOLI
Steps:
- For the ravioli: Heat the oil in a medium saucepot over medium heat. Add the shallots and sweat until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and sweat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Deglaze with the white wine. Bring to a gentle simmer and add 1/2 stick of the butter. Stir until melted. Add the basil, parsley and tarragon. Add the lobster pieces and poach in the liquid until almost cooked through, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice. Remove from the heat, transfer the lobster to a dish and set aside to cool. Reserve the liquid.
- Bring a medium saute pan to medium-low heat. Add the flour and toast gently for about a minute. Add the salt and pepper and the remaining 1/2 stick butter, stirring constantly. Cook until the starch begins to dissipate, about 3 minutes; be careful to not allow the roux to darken. Whisk the reserved poaching liquid into the roux until smooth. Simmer until the starch is completely cooked out and the sauce is thickened, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, transfer to a medium mixing bowl and cool completely.
- Gently fold the lobster into the thickened poaching liquid. Lay out the wonton wrappers, working in small batches so they don't dry out. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the filling into the center of each, brush the edges with water to moisten, place a second wonton over top and press to adhere. Use an inverted 2-inch cookie cutter (the smooth side) to gently seal the filling into the middle (this ensures a snug fit and no air bubbles which will make the ravioli burst when poached). Use a 3-inch cookie cutter (the sharp side) to cut out and create round raviolis.
- Bring 2 quarts well-salted water to a simmer in a large pot. Working in batches, simmer the ravioli until they are al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Meanwhile, make the brown butter sage sauce: Set a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and cook, stirring until it melts and becomes foamy. Once the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 3 minutes, add the capers, sage and garlic. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Once the sage is fragrant, remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the parsley, tarragon and lemon juice. Stir to incorporate and warm up the herbs and lemon -- this will release their aroma but they'll maintain their bright vibrant color.
- To heat and serve: Working in batches to not overcrowd the pan, gently toss the poached ravioli in the brown butter in a large saute pan for 1 to 2 minutes over medium heat to coat the pasta evenly. Place the ravioli on plates and spoon over sauce from the pan. Top with shaved Parmesan, garnish with basil buds and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
LOBSTER RAVIOLI WITH A LIGHT TOMATO VODKA SAUCE
This sauce is a modification of a pink vodka sauce that I made to go with the lobster ravioli for my family's Christmas Eve Dinner. I find that in alot of restaurants, the vodka sauce is quite a heavy and creamy. This is my creation to try and keep the sauce a little lighter, as well as compliment the lobster ravioli. I realize that lobster ravioli, at least for me, is quite a decadent treat. Please feel free to use this sauce for any pasta, as it goes quite well with them all.

Steps:
- Prepare the pasta dough, cover and set aside.Place the lobster tails on a cutting board, using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut through the top shell lengthwise. Gently pull the shells apart away from the meat. Heat a large pot of water and steam the lobster tails and shrimp for about 7 seven minutes. I do not have a steamer basket so I just used my metal mesh strainer and it worked great. I would start checking the shrimp at about 4 minutes and maybe flip them around to the other side. Remove the lobster and shrimp and allow to cool. Once cool, finely chop the meat. You basically want to mince the meat. Set aside. Place butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and immediately begin whisking. Stir as it bubbles, and after 2-3 minutes or so you should see brown bits appear on the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat immediately and continue to whisk for another 30 seconds or so. Add the garlic stir well. Add 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, lemon juice, crushed pepper flakes (if using), salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped lobster and shrimp. Add the ricotta cheese and mix well. Set the filling aside.Roll you pasta dough into lasagna sheets and heavily flour your ravioli mold or counter.Lay one sheet of pasta on the mold, making sure the entire mold is covered. Take a tablespoon of filling and place into each well. Spritz the pasta sheet with a little water. Lay the second sheet on top and run a rolling pin over to seal. Turn the mold over and release the ravioli. They will not be separated. Use a pizza cutter to cut apart. Lay the ravioli on a parchment lined baking sheet and continue making ravioli until you've used all the lobster filling. Make sure to cover the ravioli's as you work. At this point you can freeze the raviolis for later or boil.Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.Tomato cream sauce: Heat butter and oil over medium heat. Add onions and saute for 5 minutes until they begin to soften and caramelize. Add the garlic and saute for a minute or so. Pour in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste. Stir and cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Using the back of a fork break any large chunks of tomato up. Remove from heat and stir in cream. Add cheese to taste, then check seasonings.Cook the ravioli in the boiling water for 2 minutes, until it is floating. Remove from water and add directly to tomato sauce. If desired stir in pasta water to thin sauce. Stir in chopped parsley. Serve with grated parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired.

Steps:
- Cut the spinal cord of each lobster by inserting a knife where the tail and body meet. Tear off the tail and claws of each lobster. Cut the chest portion in half lengthwise, and remove and discard the tough sac near the eyes. Cut the chest portion into small pieces. Cut the small feelers into small pieces. Scrape away and reserve the soft coral and liver from the cavity of each lobster.
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy casserole, and add all of the lobster pieces and any liquid that accumulates from the pieces. Cook, stirring, about one minute. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Add the shallots, onions, carrots and garlic. Add the reserved coral and liver. Cook, stirring, about three minutes, and add the Cognac and wine. Bring to a boil, and add the tomatoes and tomato paste, cayenne, coarsely chopped tarragon, bay leaf and thyme. Bring to the boil, cover closely and let simmer five minutes.
- Remove the lobster tails and claws, and set them aside.
- Pour the remaining mixture, including the shells and cooking liquid, into a food mill, and crush and press to extract as much liquid as possible from the solids. Pour this into a skillet and cook down to slightly less than one cup of sauce.
- When the tails and claws are cool enough to handle, crush and crack them and remove the meat. Cut the meat into small cubes. Put them in a bowl and add the sauce. Add the finely chopped tarragon, if used, and stir. The filling may be used at this point, but it is better to refrigerate it for an hour or longer before using.
- When ready to use the filling, scoop up about one and one-half teaspoons of the mixture, and roll it into a ball. There should be about 32 portions in all. Fill the rolled-out pasta dough. When the ravioli are cooked and drained, serve hot with tomato sauce. Serve four or more portions as an appetizer. Serve eight to 10 portions as a main course.

Steps:
- Ravioli Filling Preparation: 1. Poach lobster in rapidly boiling salted water for three minutes. Remove and cool. 2. Pre-heat sauté pan and sauté all leeks in 2 tbsp of olive oil. Sweat leeks for one minute then add shallots, ginger and salt and pepper to taste. Continue to sauté until leeks are tender. Remove from heat and add chopped tarragon, set aside and cool. 3. Remove all meat from lobster and dice into small pieces. Place in a colander to drain all water from lobster. 4. Using a Cuisinart, puree shrimp, two scallops and salmon, add one egg and continue to puree until smooth. Fold in heavy cream. 5. Gently mix together lobster, leeks and puree. Adjust seasoning and refrigerate. Beurre Blanc Preparation: Place all ingredients except butter into sauce pan and reduce over medium heat until the liquid in pan has the consistency of syrup. Slowly whisk in chilled butter until all butter is emulsified with the glaze. Add Teriyaki and Soy Sauce and pass through a fine sieve, add chopped ginger. * * *Keep sauce warm. It is important that the sauce does not get too cold or hot. Either will result in separation. Pasta Preparation: Put Flour, Salt and Olive Oil in a blender and process for a few seconds. Add the Eggs and the extra Yolks and process until pasta begins to come together into a loose ball of dough. Knead the pasta dough well on a flat surface until the mixture is smooth & even. Cut the dough into four equal sliced pieces and roll them into balls. Wrap each ball in plastic and allow them to rest in the refrigerator for twenty minutes. Freeze any extra pasta. Roll out one piece of the prepared basic pasta dough gently on a floured surface, then feed it through a pasta machine several times until the pasta is as thick as an envelope. Using a pastry cutter cut out four 4" circles & four 3 ¾ "circles. Spoon a good helping of the filling into the center of each of the four smaller circles. * Be careful to leave a clear edge around the filling to insure a good seal. Brush the edges with a little water & top with the larger circles. Gently press the edges together. Using scissors, trim away any irregular edges of the ravioli. Gently pinch them all around to insure the seal is sound. Refrigerate until ready to use. Final Preparation: 1. Bring ½ gallon salted water to boil. Drop in raviolis. Cook for approximately 1 ½ minutes. 2. While raviolis are cooking, place sesame oil in sauté pan. When pan starts to smoke add remaining scallops that have been halved lengthwise. Cook for a couple of seconds on each side or until brown. 3. Remove scallops from pan and add mushrooms and asparagus. Sauté for one minute then add tomatoes. Cook only until vegetables are heated and lightly colored. 4. Remove ravioli from water. 5. Place a little of the ginger soy buerre blanc on bottom of the bowl. Place ravioli on top; add more sauce to cover ravioli. Place seared scallops around ravioli to form a tripod. Place three asparagus, red tomatoes, yellow tomatoes and oyster mushrooms over ravioli. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Peel and devein the shrimp, reserving the shells and heads. Chop the shrimp into bite-size pieces.
- To make the shrimp stock, combine the shrimp shells and heads, onion, and celery in a large pot. Squeeze the lemon juice into the pot, then add the lemon halves as well. Add the dried basil, oregano, thyme, peppercorns, 1/2 cup parsley, and 3 cups of water. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour, skimming away any foam or impurities that have risen to the surface. Strain the shrimp stock and set aside.

- Seal the ravioli edges tightly. This will prevent the filling from leaking out.
- Cook the ravioli in a large pot of boiling water. This will help to prevent the ravioli from sticking together.
- Serve the ravioli with a simple sauce. A light tomato sauce or a cream sauce would be a good choice.
