Special Notes

This lobster ravioli is a luxurious dish perfect for special occasions. The combination of fresh lobster, ricotta, and herbs creates a rich, flavorful filling. The key is not to overfill the ravioli to prevent them from bursting during cooking. You can make the ravioli ahead and freeze them for later use. This dish pairs perfectly with a crisp white wine and a simple green salad.
