- Shallot – We used one medium sized shallot. You can substitute ½ cup diced onion in its place.
- Old bay seasoning
- Lobster ravioli – We used Rana lobster ravioli bought from Costco. You can use any prepared seafood ravioli or even a tortellini would work great.
- White wine – We used an inexpensive, dry white for this recipe. Nothing fancy needed here, just make sure to use a dry white.

Everything you need to know about lobster ravioli sauce
What sauce goes on top of lobster ravioli?
With a seafood pasta, your best bet is to stick with a butter based sauce as these pair well with the delicate sweet flavor of seafood. I’ve added old bay to help bring out the seafood flavor and give the sauce a little kick.
Do you cook frozen ravioli from frozen?
You can cook ravioli from frozen very easily. You can also cook it when it’s thawed, it will just need less cooking time.
How long do you cook lobster ravioli from Costco?
This depends if it is frozen or thawed. Thawed ravioli should only take 2-3 minutes at the most, you can see it puff up as it absorbs some of the pasta water and it will float to the top. From frozen the ravioli should take 4-5 minutes.
How long does uncooked lobster ravioli last in fridge?
You should always go by the expiration date on the package. Most will say use or freeze by, always follow the package guidelines.
After the ravioli is cooked, the leftovers should last 3-4 days when refrigerated in an airtight container.
