Cuisine's Lobster Ravioli
4 oz. sea scallops
4 oz. raw lobster meat
1 t. tomato paste
1 egg
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 C. heavy cream
8-10 pasta sheets (about 6 x 6 inches)
1 egg white mixed with a little water for an egg wash
4 oz. cooked lobster meat, sliced
Red Pepper Butter Sauce or Basil Crab Butter Sauce (recipes follow)
In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, puree the sea scallops, raw
lobster, tomato paste, egg, salt and pepper. Add the heavy cream and puree until
thickened.
Spread out the pasta sheets. Use one sheet to make two ravioli. Evenly space
apart and scoop about 1 heaping tablespoon of the pureed mixture onto the bottom
half of the pasta sheet. Top with a cooked lobster slice. Brush the pasta with
egg wash and cover with the top half of the sheet of pasta, sealing edges. Cut
out with a 2 1/2-3 inch circular cutter such as a biscuit cutter; repeat with
remaining filling and pasta sheets.
Blanch the ravioli in a large pot of boiling salted water for 7 minutes; remove
using a slotted spoon and serve with a flavored butter sauce.
