Gordon Ramsay Lobster Ravioli Recipe

Gordon Ramsay Lobster Ravioli recipe

Gordon Ramsay’s Lobster Ravioli consists of homemade pasta filled with a creamy, flavorful lobster mixture, then cooked and served with a light butter or tomato-based sauce. The dish balances the sweetness of lobster with the richness of mascarpone, herbs, and a silky sauce.

Ingredients

Scale

For the pasta dough:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp water (if needed)

For the lobster filling:

  • 1½ cups cooked lobster meat, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 tbsp ricotta cheese
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh tarragon or basil, finely chopped
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)

For the sauce:

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ cup seafood or chicken stock
  • ¼ cup white wine
  • ½ cup heavy cream (optional for a creamy sauce)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil or parsley, chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pasta Dough

  1. Make the dough – On a clean surface, create a mound with the flour and make a well in the center. Add the eggs, yolk, salt, and olive oil.
  2. Mix and knead – Gradually mix with a fork, then knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2: Make the Lobster Filling

  1. Combine ingredients – In a bowl, mix lobster meat, mascarpone, ricotta, lemon zest, chives, tarragon, salt, and pepper.
  2. Chill the filling – Refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up for easier handling.

Step 3: Assemble the Ravioli

  1. Roll out the pasta – Use a pasta machine or rolling pin to roll the dough into thin sheets (about 1/16 inch thick).
  2. Fill the ravioli – Place small spoonfuls of lobster filling on one sheet, leaving 1-inch gaps. Cover with another sheet and press around the filling to seal.
  3. Cut the ravioli – Use a ravioli cutter or sharp knife to shape individual ravioli.

Step 4: Cook the Ravioli

  1. Boil water – Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Cook the ravioli – Drop them in and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the top.

Step 5: Make the Sauce

  1. Sauté shallots and garlic – In a pan, melt butter over medium heat, then add shallots and garlic, cooking until soft.
  2. Deglaze with wine and stock – Pour in the white wine and seafood stock, simmering for 3-4 minutes.
  3. Finish the sauce – Stir in lemon juice, herbs, and cream (if using).

Step 6: Serve the Ravioli

  1. Toss ravioli in the sauce – Gently coat the cooked ravioli with the sauce.
  2. Garnish and serve – Plate with extra fresh herbs and a drizzle of butter sauce.
