Gordon Ramsay Lobster Tortellini Ingredients

Fresh Pasta

• 200g 00 flour
• 3 large egg yolks
• 1 whole egg
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Lobster Filling

• 2 cooked lobster tails, chopped
• 100g mascarpone cheese
• 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• Salt and white pepper to taste

The Sauce

• 2 shallots, finely diced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 60ml dry white wine
• 100ml double cream
• 50g cold unsalted butter

How To Make Gordon Ramsay Lobster Tortellini

1. Make the dough: Combine flour, egg yolks, whole egg, and olive oil in a food processor until crumbly. Knead for 5 minutes, cover, and rest for 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the filling: Mix the chopped lobster, mascarpone, chives, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Cover and chill in the fridge until needed.
3. Roll the pasta: Feed the dough through a pasta machine on the widest setting, reducing down until the sheet is almost translucent.
4. Shape the tortellini: Cut the pasta into 3-inch squares. Place a teaspoon of filling in the centre, fold into a triangle, and wrap the corners to seal.
5. Make the sauce: Sauté shallots and garlic until soft, then deglaze the pan with white wine. Stir in double cream and cold butter until thickened.
6. Boil the pasta: Drop the tortellini into heavily salted boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes until they float. Toss gently in the cream sauce before serving.

Recipe Tips

• Keep the dough covered: Fresh pasta dries out incredibly fast, so keep any waiting sheets under a damp tea towel.
• Chill the filling: A cold mascarpone and lobster mixture is much easier to portion and stops the dough from becoming sticky.
• Salt the water heavily: The boiling water should taste like the sea to properly season the pasta before it hits the sauce.

What To Serve With Lobster Tortellini?

This rich Lobster Tortellini pasta pairs beautifully with a crisp green salad tossed in a sharp lemon vinaigrette. I also recommend serving warm focaccia on the side to mop up every last drop of the creamy white wine sauce.

How To Store Leftovers Lobster Tortellini?

Uncooked tortellini can be dusted in semolina and frozen on a baking tray for up to 3 months. Cooked tortellini should be kept in an airtight container in the fridge and eaten within 2 days. Reheat gently on the hob with a splash of water.

How To Reheat Leftovers Lobster Tortellini?

Stovetop Method (Best result): Place tortellini in a pan over low heat. Add a splash of cream, milk, or broth to loosen the sauce. Stir gently for 4–6 minutes until warm. This keeps the sauce smooth and the lobster tender.

Microwave Method (Quick way): Put in a microwave-safe bowl. Add a little liquid and cover loosely. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until hot.

Tip: Use low heat to avoid overcooking the lobster.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought pasta wrappers?

Yes, wonton wrappers or pre-made fresh pasta sheets work well if you are short on time.

How do I know when the tortellini are cooked?

Fresh pasta cooks very quickly in boiling water. They will naturally float to the surface of the pot when they are ready.

Can I use prawn instead of lobster?

Absolutely, chopped king prawns offer a similar sweet seafood flavour and firm texture for the filling.

Why did my tortellini open while boiling?

This usually happens if the edges were not sealed properly. Try lightly brushing the pasta edges with water before pinching them shut tightly.
