Lobster ravioli is a rich and decadent dish, so here are some tips to help create a well-balanced lobster ravioli meal. Feel free to adapt and modify them to suit your taste.
- Portion control. Be mindful of portion sizes. While lobster ravioli can be delicious, it’s important not to overindulge.
- Lighter sauce. Consider opting for a lighter sauce option for your lobster ravioli. Instead of heavy cream-based sauces, choose a tomato-based sauce or a light herb and olive oil dressing.
- Fresh vegetables. Include a generous serving of fresh vegetables alongside your lobster ravioli.
- Side salad. Start your meal with a side salad (like simple green salad with a light vinaigrette dressing) or serve it alongside the lobster ravioli.
- Citrus garnish. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon or a sprinkle of lime zest over the lobster ravioli.
- Whole grains. Incorporate whole grains into your meal. Serve a small portion of whole grain bread or include a side of quinoa, wild rice, or couscous.
- Hydration. Drink plenty of water or enjoy a glass of sparkling water with a slice of lemon or cucumber to stay hydrated and refresh your palate between bites.
- Light dessert. Fresh fruit, a fruit sorbet, or a small piece of dark chocolate can provide a satisfying and balanced ending to your lobster ravioli meal.

Skip the lemon and go straight for the sage! Sometimes you gotta pick one, and sage pairs up well with the light sweet flavors of seafood, too. Butter is my theme here and I’m not afraid to admit it.

Ingredients include: Green beans, garlic powder, olive oil, parmesan cheese, and salt.
I’m a fan of offering many things to eat at dinner. It doesn’t even have to be a special occasion. But having a variety of foods means we get to try things and keep them fresh and new.

I was surprised to find that a lot of people aren’t willing to give Shrimp Cocktails a try. The hesitation is understandable; I mean, who would want to get drunk on something with meat in it?

Ingredients line: Tomatoes, shrimp, cucumber, hot sauce, and cilantro.
36. Grapefruit Salad
This recipe for Grapefruit Salad is a perfect example of contrasting flavors complementing each other.

39. Grilled Tomatoes
Grilled Tomatoes go with everything. Not at all surprising since it’s the vegetable (it was ruled a vegetable in terms of culinary application) from which one of the most popular condiments in the world is derived: ketchup.
Grilled Tomatoes are awesome since they can go on anything from burgers to soups to salads or as snacks on their own.
Ingredients include: Beefsteak tomatoes, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper.
To marinate something is to let it soak in a flavoring liquid of some sort for a period of time. This results in whatever you’re marinating to acquire the flavor of whatever you were marinating with.

I think it’s the pop of lemon, mustard, and Worcestershire.
Ingredients include: Romaine, dijon mustard, shaved parmesan, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon.
Beer bread was the first bread I ever made, and the beer is what gave it all that lift instead of yeast. So it’s in the category of quick bread, but it is still a sturdy, easy bread that holds butter like crazy.

I’ve never been one to lean into melon in general, as much as I love fruit. But I’d eat the heck out of this. If you aren’t a blue cheese fan, choose a crumbled feta or even mild mozzarella cubes. A tangy lemon dressing elevates the dish, while walnuts provide a satisfying crunch. This visually appealing, easy-to-make salad is sure to be a hit at any event.
Ingredients include: Watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, walnuts, blue cheese, and herbs.
71. Winter Salad
Savor a nourishing Winter Salad with Tangy Homemade Vinaigrette. Make a big one and divide into a side salad for lobster ravioli. Packed with nutrient-rich greens, this salad features a delightful mix of textures and flavors, including crisp apples, juicy pomegranate arils, creamy goat cheese, and crunchy pecans.
The tangy homemade vinaigrette, made from red wine vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard, ties the ingredients together with a burst of flavor. This colorful, delicious, and easy-to-make salad will brighten any table.
Ingredients include: Napa cabbage, kale, pomegranate arils, carrots, apples, and dijon mustard.
Bloody Marys aren’t just for brunch; this zesty recipe is going to hammer home some serious flavor. From the seafood-supportive Old Bay to the horseradish, citrus, and a bunch of other incredible spices, if you want a memorable drink to come alongside that lobster ravioli luncheon, wow.
Plus a drink with bacon?
I’m in!
Ingredients include: Bacon, coriander, celery salt, Old Bay, V8, and red peppers.
So one of the great things about the perfect cocktail that goes with pasta is that it has to do several things:
- Accentuate the flavor
- Either cut through the richness or be mild enough to not compete with it
- Stand on its own or stand aside
And an Aperol Spritz has all of the sharp, citrus, sweet, and even bitter notes that a drink really should have when coming alongside a plate of your favorite lobster ravioli.
Ingredients include: Aperol, Prosecco, tonic water, citrus juice, and orange slice.
Lobster and corn go hand in hand, and this simple skillet side dish has both the seafood’s signature seasoning and fresh corn off the cob. Yeah, it’s going to add a touch more starch to your pasta feast, but it will be so worth it.
Ingredients include: Corn, Old Bay, butter, salt, and pepper.
While we have put lots of grilled foods here for the taking, this one is a bit different. Instead of breaking out the smoker, just add drops of liquid smoke to this simple cream cheese spread.
Include your favorite dipping vegetables, flatbreads, or crackers alongside this rich, wonderfully seasoned spread, and you have a nice appetizer that appears before your lobster ravioli makes its way to the table.
Ingredients include: Cream cheese, liquid smoke, garlic seasoning blend, and salt.
