Instructions

Cook the ravioli: Prepare the lobster ravioli according to the package instructions, either boiling or simmering until tender and cooked through. Drain the ravioli carefully to avoid breaking the delicate pasta.
Prepare the lemon butter sauce: While the ravioli cooks, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and lightly golden but not burnt.
Add lemon flavor and cream: Stir in the lemon zest and fresh lemon juice into the butter-garlic mixture. Then pour in the heavy cream and simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes creamy.
Season the sauce: Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste, ensuring the balance of lemon acidity and butter richness shines through.
Toss ravioli in sauce: Add the drained lobster ravioli to the skillet and gently toss to coat each piece evenly with the lemon butter sauce.
Finish and serve: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped parsley over the ravioli. Serve immediately, optionally accompanied by crusty bread or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.

Notes

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a subtle heat.
For a richer sauce, increase the heavy cream to 1/3 cup.
Serve with crusty bread to soak up extra sauce, or a crisp side salad to balance the richness.
