• 2-1/2 tsp. butter
• 1 tsp. mint shallots
• 2 cups light cream
• 2-1/2 tsp. flour
• 2 or 3 tsp. quality light sherry
• Salt & ground pepper to taste

• 2 cups light cream
• 2 tsp. butter
• 2 tsp. flour 1/2 oz. brandy
• 1/4 tsp. paprika
• Salt & pepper to taste

Directions

Boil lobsters, remove meat. Clean & mince lobster meat. Wash & mince mushrooms.

In saute pan, soften butter, add shallots. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until translucent. Add lobster meat and mushrooms and cook for another minute. Slowly sprinkle flour over mix, stirring constantly. Add sherry, stirring contantly. (If you want it a little pinker, shake in a little paprika.) Add light cream and reduce for 2 to 3 minutes on low. The mixture should be on the medium to thick side. Remove from the heat and spread it out on a flat pan to cool.

Roll out 2 ravioli pasta sheets. Mark out 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" squares. Add 3/4 tsp. of mixture into the marked square. Lay the second sheet on top and use a ravioli tool to roll and seal. Transfer onto a sheet pan that has been lined with wax paper & sprinkle with corn meal (this helps prevent sticking).
Sauce:
Melt butter. Add flour, brandy, light cream & paprika. Salt & pepper to taste. Keep warm in a double boiler.
Cook Ravioli:
Bring water, salt & oil to a boil. Add raviolis quickly, but 1 at a time. Keep separated with a wooden spoon. Boil 3 to 5 minutes (preference). Remove with slotted spoon or skimmer.

Serve on a flat plate or flat soup bowl with cream sauce on the bottom. Place 4 or 5 raviolis on sauce and then drizzle with more sauce. Sprinkle with parsley.
