    Making ravioli from scratch can be time-consuming therefore I like to use store-bought whenever possible. Most Italian supermarkets carry good-quality lobster ravioli. Although, I highly recommend serving it with homemade sauce. This lobster ravioli sauce is a creamy pink vodka sauce and it cooks in under 30 minutes.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Crushed Tomatoes – Use good quality canned crushed tomatoes for best results.
    • Parmesan Cheese – Freshly grated is best!
    • Sugar – It helps balance the acidity of the tomatoes. However, jarred tomato sauces have plenty of sugar so if using jarred, omit the sugar. I only recommend adding sugar when using canned tomatoes.
    • Heavy Cream – Don’t use half and half or whole milk. You’ll need heavy whipping cream for this recipe.
    • Vodka – Adds so much flavor but feel free to use chicken stock or white wine instead.

    Top Tips

    • If you want the sauce extra smooth, place the sauce in a food processor before adding the heavy cream and parmesan cheese.
    • Cook the lobster ravioli in the sauce, it saves time and less cleanup.
    • Not a fan of lobster ravioli? You can use any type of ravioli or pasta. This sauce goes good on everything!
    • Place any leftover sauce in a jar with a tight lid and refrigerate for up to 4 days. To reheat, place the sauce in a saucepan and cook until warm.
    • Want to make it extra creamy? Add extra heavy cream and parmesan cheese.
    • Feel free to add 1 tsp of lobster bouillon base or actual lobster chunks to the sauce.

    What Sauce Goes Best With Lobster Ravioli?

    It all depends on the restaurant or person. Most restaurants serve lobster ravioli with pink vodka sauce, Alfredo sauce, or creamy garlic sauce. My favorite sauce is definitely pink vodka sauce.
