Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped
- ½ cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make the Pasta Dough: On a clean surface or in a bowl, mound the flour and create a well in the center. Crack in the eggs and gradually incorporate the flour using a fork until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix cooked lobster meat, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, herbs, lemon zest, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Roll Out the Pasta: Divide rested dough into four pieces and roll each thinly using a pasta machine or rolling pin.
- Assemble Ravioli: Lay one pasta sheet on a floured surface; spoon mounds of filling at intervals along one side. Fold over and press down around each mound to seal.
- Cook Ravioli: Boil salted water in a pot; gently drop in ravioli and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they float.
