- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the Ravioli:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster ravioli and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2️⃣ Prepare the Lemon Butter Sauce:
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
3️⃣ Add the Broth and Lemon:
Pour in the chicken broth and fresh lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
4️⃣ Finish the Sauce:
Stir in the lemon zest and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce is creamy and well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5️⃣ Combine Ravioli and Sauce:
Gently toss the cooked ravioli in the skillet with the lemon butter sauce until well coated.
6️⃣ Serve:
Plate the ravioli and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately, with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
- For a touch of extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
