2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/3 cups finely chopped shallots
1 cup chopped fennel bulb
3 large garlic cloves, chopped

4 teaspoons tomato paste
3 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt broth

  • For filling:
  • Cook lentils in medium saucepan of simmering water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks; sauté until tender, about 15 minutes. Add lentils, lobster meat, crabmeat and 1/2 cup lobster sauce.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the ravioli didn't turn out very well. The filling was bland and the pasta was too thick.

The ravioli was a bit too salty for my taste. I would probably use less salt next time.
