Steps

  • Pulse pasta ingredients in a food processor until breadcrumb texture forms.
  • Knead dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes, wrap in film, and chill for 15 minutes.
  • Feed halved dough through a pasta machine, decreasing thickness settings gradually until thin.
  • Trim edges of two equal pasta rectangles and set aside on a floured tray.
  • Blend lobster claws and one tail into a paste, then chill for 10 minutes.
  • Blend 100ml cream and stock into the lobster paste until smooth.
  • Mix in tarragon, eggs, cayenne, and lemon; transfer to a piping bag and chill.
  • Pipe four mounds of filling on one pasta sheet and top each with reserved tail meat.
  • Moisten pasta edges with water leaving a 3cm gap around filling.
  • Top with the second pasta sheet, cut into four ravioli, and seal edges carefully.
  • Boil ravioli for 3-5 minutes until al dente then remove with a slotted spoon.
  • Sauté lobster shells in butter and oil, add vegetables and garlic, then stir in tomato purée.
  • Deglaze with brandy, add chicken stock, and reduce liquid by half.
  • Strain sauce, discard solids, bring to a boil, and stir in 150ml cream.
  • Serve one raviolo per bowl topped with lobster cream sauce.
