Lobster Ravioli with Langostino

     I have a friend, Dianne, who I have known for a good  29 years, and she is one of the best gourmet cooks I know.  Whenever I have a cooking question or am in need of an idea of how to prepare something I just give her a call.
     Tonight I wanted to do something simple, but tasty.  I purchased  some lobster ravioli at Costco, and had no clue what I was going to do with it.  As I strolled through our favorite Warehouse grocer, I went through the contents of my pantry, freezer and refrigerator in my mind.  Parmesan cheese, butter, olive oil, scallions, Chardonnay, pine nuts, lemon, fresh thyme, and, OH, I can use the Langostino!
   Not sure how to go about making this dish, I give my buddy Dianne a call, who unfortunately lives in Ohio.  Why a person would move from this Golden State, that has EVERYTHING except WINTER, is beyond me.  Anyway, Di answered her phone.  I told her what I was considering and she told me ways of creating a mild flavor that will only enhance my Costco bought raviolis.   It was delicious!!!!!!

   Put raviolis in a pot of boiling water that had salt and olive oil in it.
 
  When the raviolis were almost done, I added the Langostino to the water.

   I drained the ravioli/ langostino and put it in a pasta bowl.

   Next, I sprinkled some olive oil over the pasta, and shaved a tablespoon or 2 of butter over it, added

   sliced  scallions, Parmesan cheese,  a small hand full of pine nuts, squeeze of 1/2 lemon and a sprinkling of

   Chardonnay, the family LOVED it!

Thank you again Dianne!
