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:
- Bring salted pasta water to a boil in a large stock pot over high heat.
- For the sauce: Pour the tomatoes and their liquid into a food processor, and pulse until tomatoes are finely chopped.
- Or finely chop the tomatoes by hand if no food processor is available.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the crushed garlic cloves to the hot oil to coat the garlic cloves.
- Cook until garlic is lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
- Next, carefully add the finely chopped tomatoes.
- Bring tomatoes to a boil and add salt to taste, and crushed red pepper.
- (don't be shy here, a little heat is nice!) Let the tomato mixture cook about 2 minutes more, then add the vodka.
- Lower the heat and simmer the sauce for about 6 minutes, or until the pasta is finished cooking, then add the cream.
- Stir in the fresh basil.
- Cook the lobster ravioli, (or pasta of your choice) in the boiling salted water until al dente.
- If your choose, remove the garlic cloves from the sauce.
- Drain pasta and mix in a serving bowl with 3/4 of the sauce.
- Note: I find that I have a portion of the sauce leftover when I make 3 dozen ravioli.
- Please sauce your pasta of choice to taste, and enjoy the leftovers!
- Pasta may be topped with grated cheese and chopped parsley before serving.
- Enjoy!

SHRIMP RAVIOLI WITH A TOMATO VODKA CREAM SAUCE
I have been making these for years - ever since I moved to FL where shrimp is so affordable. They are light and creamy. Wonton wrappers make this easy to make and the creamy sauce is a quick 10 minutes on the stove. I often make these ahead and freeze ... then when I need them, just pop them in some boiling water, heat up my sauce, and dinner is ready. Serve with a traditional crisp salad (I happen to like a grilled romaine salad) and then of course some crusty garlic bread. A nice twist to the traditional cheese or beef ravioli.

Steps:
- Sauce -- Make the sauce first and set to the side. In a medium size pot, add the butter and melt on medium heat, then add in the onion, garlic, roasted red pepper and red pepper flakes and cook until the onions are tender and translucent. Should take about 5 minutes. Then add in the vodka and cook another minute, followed by the tomatoes, heavy cream, parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Just simmer for another five minutes and it is done. This can be done in advance and just heated up, or made at the time you plan to serve the ravioli. It freezes well and will stay 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
- Shrimp Filling -- Now I like to get my shrimp steamed right at the grocery store to save time. You can also buy pre-cooked shrimp, which I don't like as much, but they certainly will work for this dish just fine.
- The shrimp needs to be very fine chopped which you can do by hand, or if you are me, I just add it to my food processor to get a coarse chop which is so much easier.
- Then add the shrimp to a large bowl with the ricotta, parmesan, eggs, garlic, parsley, nutmeg, salt and pepper and mix well.
- Ravioli -- Lay out the ravioli and put a small spoon of the filling on top of each ravioli in the center. With you finger or a small brush, brush the edges of the wonton with a little water and then top with the second wonton, and press the sides together and around the center filling so there is no air and the wonton and it is sealed tight. Lay them all out of a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper to dry slightly. Now they are ready for cooking. If you want, rather than making a square ravioli, you can easily put the filling on the bottom ravioli and fold over corner to corner to make a triangle. This method will work just as well and will give you about 40 plus triangle shaped ravioli. Either way works just as good as the other.
- Cook them right away, or you can freeze them right on the sheet and bag them up and freeze for later. NOTE: If you have any left over filling, add some onions, peppers and make a quesadilla or a grilled shrimp sandwich.
- Cook -- In a pot of salted medium boiling water, add the ravioli and cook 3-4 minutes. When they float, they are done. Remember the filling is already cooked, so you are just heating them through. They don't take long.
- Serve -- Just top the ravioli with your sauce, some fresh basil and grated parmesan cheese. And ENJOY!
- Don't forget the salad and crusty garlic bread!

Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your sauce will be. If you can, use fresh tomatoes from your garden or a local farmer's market.
- Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
- Use a good quality vodka: The vodka adds a subtle flavor to the sauce, so use a vodka that you enjoy drinking.
- Don't boil the sauce: Simmer the sauce gently over low heat for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen.
- Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar if you find the sauce is too acidic.
Conclusion:
Tomato vodka sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on pasta, pizza, or as a dipping sauce. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give tomato vodka sauce a try!
