Lobster Ravioli Recipe with Sage Butter Sauce is an amazingly delicious dish! Using under ten ingredients, including ready-made pasta dough, this simple but elegant seafood dinner is topped with the best sauce for lobster ravioli!

Lobster Ravioli

Lobster ravioli is such a treat. The first time I tried it at a local restaurant, I knew I had to have this dish again, which meant making it myself at home! It’s so buttery and smooth, with ricotta cheese and a zip of lemon.

I like to make my lobster ravioli using homemade ravioli dough. It’s easier to make than it seems, and rolling it out and cutting the ravioli is so much fun. The reward of sharing it with your family at the end is also worth the effort.

Making ravioli from scratch is fun and is the best lobster recipe ever! I will show you how to make ravioli, including the dough, filling, and sage butter sauce, to top it all off. If you prefer, you can make this recipe using store-bought pasta dough or even store-bought lobster ravioli. Sage brown butter sauce is the perfect companion to the ravioli either way.

I surprised my husband with this recipe for our anniversary and he absolutely loved it.

Lobster Ravioli Filling

• Cooked lobster meat (you can use Air Fryer Lobster and Grilled Lobster)
• Ricotta cheese
• Lemon zest
• Kosher Salt and pepper or red pepper flakes

The ingredients used in my homemade ravioli filling recipe are simple but packed with flavor that sticks with every bite. Paired with the best lobster ravioli sauce using brown butter and sage, this is one of the most delicious seafood dinner recipes.

Ravioli Pasta Dough

• Eggs
• Flour
• Olive oil
• Salt

You can make homemade pasta dough using our instructions below, or you can buy it ready-made in most grocery stores. If you prefer, you can even use wonton wrappers as ravioli dough.

Alternatively, you can use store-bought lobster ravioli and simply follow our instructions for making the sage brown butter sauce to serve it with.

Lobster Ravioli Sauce

• Butter
• Fresh sage
• Garlic
• Recommended: Parmesan Cheese or Pecorino Romano to sprinkle on top

Brown butter sauce for lobster ravioli is the best. It is nutty, and buttery, and brings out the flavor of the filling so deliciously.

Ravioli Dough Instructions

You will need around eggs and flour to make homemade pasta dough for ravioli. Plus, salt and olive oil.

1. Mix eggs and salt together using a whisk or food processor.
2. Gradually add flour and olive oil.
3. Bring them together into a ball shape to form the dough.

This will give close to 15 oz. of pasta dough. You can add an extra yolk and a little more flour to get a little more. This will provide you with a smooth and dry consistency with no cracking.

Recipe for Lobster Ravioli

Let your fresh pasta recipe rest while you make the lobster ravioli filling.

You can skip these steps if you’re using store-bought lobster ravioli and are only making the sage butter sauce.

1. Break lobster meat up into small pieces. Place in a bowl with ricotta, salt and pepper, and lemon zest. Mix well.
   
2. Roll pasta dough out, using around ⅛th of the dough at a time. Keep your surface and hands well-floured so it doesn’t stick. If using a pasta machine rather than your hands, roll to around the “5” setting. You want it very thin, almost see-through, but still holding together.
3. If using a ravioli mold, place the dough over the mold and add about a teaspoon of filling in each space. If you aren’t using a mold, place the ravioli filling around 1 inch apart on the dough sheet.
   
4. Dab water between each filling pile along the edges where you want the ravioli to seal. Place another layer of ravioli dough over the top and seal in the filling. Try to avoid any air remaining in the filling pocket.
5. Cut the ravioli, then set aside on a floured baking sheet and repeat with the rest of the dough and filling. Meanwhile, boil water in a large pot.
   

How to Cook Lobster Ravioli

1. Place the ravioli into a pot of boiling water a few at a time and cook for a couple of minutes. You will need to keep the heat relatively high to keep the water boiling. The ravioli will float up to the top when done.
   
2. Remove from the water with a slotted spoon and place them into a serving dish. Drizzle over sage brown butter sauce (instructions below). Repeat with the remainder of the ravioli.

Sauce for Lobster Ravioli

1. Melt butter in a skillet.
   
2. When the butter begins bubbling slightly, add chopped garlic and stir in the butter for 1 minute. Add the chopped sage to the garlic butter, then continue stirring for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the butter turns light brown and has a rich, nutty aroma. Be careful not to overcook—remove from heat as soon as it starts to brown!
   
3. Set aside until the ravioli are done boiling, then serve over the top as instructed above.
