Where can I buy lobster ravioli?

- Saute the garlic. Over medium heat, saute the minced garlic in butter and olive oil for a few minutes.
- Add the white wine. Raise the heat to high and add the white wine, allowing the alcohol to cook off for a minute or two.

- Add the spinach. Now add in the spinach, salt, and pepper and stir. Allow the spinach to cook until it wilts, which will take about 3 minutes. Then let the sauce come to a simmer again.
- Cook the ravioli. While the sauce is simmering, cook the ravioli in a pot of boiling water with a good amount of salt, which will give it more flavor.

Sally says
The only thing I could say is is that I personally think the sauce could have been thicker.. other than that it was really good
simplyhomecooked says
Thank you for the feedback, Sally. The thickness of the cream depends on the fat content of your heavy cream. I love to use 36 % or higher.
Micki Andrews says
I would try again, but add some spice to the cream sauce.

Glenn Vargas says
Well we made the sauce as directed. Depending on diet it was ok. Did not have the flavors we were hoping for. We will try the recipe again putting our own spin to give it a kick . Adding Cognac instead of white wine to see if that helps. We Already went with 5 garlic cloves and that wasn’t enough…..So our dinner last night was not as we had hoped with your existing recipe don’t understand why you gave it 4 1/2 stars…..

Hi Glenn, I’m sorry to hear that this recipe didn’t meet your standards. If you prefer more garlic, you are more than welcome to add more. It’s all personal preference.
Danny V says
This was extremely good. I’ve made it twice now and absolutely love it. I know it’s cliche to add your own twist, but I added some chopped sundries tomatoes when I added the spinach the second time around and it makes it even better. Thanks for the recipe!
