Ingredients
For the Ravioli:
1 lb shrimp and lobster ravioli (store-bought or homemade)
For the Creamy Garlic Butter Sauce:
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For Garnish:
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Extra Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Ravioli
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the ravioli and cook according to package instructions, usually 3–5 minutes.
Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining the ravioli. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Sauce
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the heavy cream, and bring to a gentle simmer.
Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until fully melted and smooth.
Add the red pepper flakes (if using), and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Step 3: Combine Ravioli and Sauce
Gently add the cooked ravioli to the skillet with the sauce.
Toss to coat the ravioli evenly in the creamy garlic butter sauce.
Step 4: Serve
Plate the ravioli, spooning any remaining sauce over the top.
Garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese.
