Where can I buy lobster ravioli?
Lobster ravioli can be found in the freezer section of most major grocery stores and gourmet stores, including Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s.
Is it worth making from scratch?
Well, the short answer is no. While homemade ravioli tastes delicious, the amount of time, space, ingredients, and equipment needed to made the pasta dough, stuff it, and cut it would cost more than if you just purchased it frozen at the store. You’re more than welcome to make your lobster ravioli fresh, but it’s not required for this recipe to be delicious.
What kind of sauce goes on it?

How to make the best 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 heavy cream. Then add the heavy cream and allow the sauce to come to a simmer.
- 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.
- Add the ravioli and Parmesan to the sauce. Take the pan off the heat and add in the cooked ravioli and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted and then serve hot.

Nikki says
Can I substitute the heavy cream for something else? Evaporated milk maybe?
simplyhomecooked says
Hi Nikki, you can use half & half as a substitute here. But it may be a bit runnier. I have never used evaporated milk so I can’t really say how it will change the flavors and consistency.
