Lobster Ravioli
When you’re having lobster ravioli, the question that comes up first is: what does lobster ravioli sauce actually look like? To tell you the truth, it can look like a lot of different things, but by far, the best option (in my opinion) is a cream-based or a butter-based sauce. Lobster is such a rich, indulgent ingredient that it needs a sauce that can hold up to it. Plus, butter and lobster are bff’s, they have been since the dawn of time.
