Ingredients that'll need

To make this easy white sauce for lobster ravioli you will need:

• Unsalted butter – You want to use unsalted butter in order to control the saltiness of the sauce, if the butter option isn't available then you can use vegetable oil, however, the sauce won’t be buttery, but it will still be very delicious.
• Garlic cloves – You want your garlic to be minced with the use of a fine grater that really matters, as chopped garlic will be bigger and won’t be properly cooked and it gives the feeling of raw and pungent garlic in the sauce.
• Chicken stock – This is lobster ravioli sauce uses chicken stock, you can substitute it with vegetable stock.
• Heavy cream – heavy cream or half &half can be used, also evaporated milk will work as well, though, the sauce will be runnier.
• Fresh grated Parmesan cheese – Make sure to grate the cheese by yourself, fresh grated cheese will guarantee a creamy smooth sauce.
• Crab sticks – These crab sticks are optional to use, however, they contribute to the texture and flavor of the sauce.
• Lemon juice – You want to add it at the very end in order to prevent the sauce from clumping then immediately give a nice stir to the lobster ravioli.
• Salt & pepper to season

Should I use Homemade Lobster Ravioli?

If you have tried homemade pasta before then I'm sure that you know it is nothing like the store-bought stuff, I mean aside from the flavor, the homemade lobster ravioli has a different texture, cooks faster, and absorbs more flavors.

If you want to use fresh lobster ravioli you are more than welcome to do, though it's not necessary for this recipe to be delicious.
