Lobster Ravioli in a Cheese Sauce

Lobster ravioli was on sale at Costco, so we bought some to try.
 

 

Ingredients:

• 13 oz package of lobster ravioli
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon powdered garlic (or 3 cloves garlic, minced)
• 1/2 cup chicken broth (or white wine)
• 1 can evaporated milk and 1 tablespoon powdered milk (or 12 ounces heavy cream)
• 1/3 cup Romano cheese (or Parmesan), grated
• 1/8 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup fresh kale (or spinach), julienned

Instructions:

1. In a large frying pan, sauté the minced garlic with the butter and olive oil over medium heat for a few minutes. (Or heat the butter and oil, then add garlic powder, stirring, for 30 seconds.)
2. Start the water boiling for the lobster ravioi in a different pot.
   
3. Bring heat to high, and add the chicken broth (or white wine). Let it cook for about a minute or two.
4. Add the evaporated milk and powdered milk (or the heavy cream), and let it come to a simmer.
5. Stir in the kale (or spinach) and pepper. Let the sauce simmer about 3 minutes to let the kale wilt.
6. Meanwhile, cook the lobster ravioli in the boiling water.
7. Remove the sauce from the heat.
8. Stir the Parmesan (or Romano) cheese into the sauce until it is melted in.
9. Drain the lobster ravioli, and add to pan with sauce, gently stirring so all ravioli are coated.
10. Serve with broccoli or a green salad.
    

 

Carole's Notes:

This was pretty good. The lobster ravioli did not have a lot of lobster flavor. This was a mild cheesy sauce - I liked the sauce on my broccoli. Doug would have preferred a cheddar sauce on the broccoli.
