In a bowl, combine the finely chopped lobster meat, ricotta cheese, minced garlic, chopped shallot, fresh parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to create the lobster filling.
Lay out one sheet of fresh pasta and place small spoonfuls of the lobster filling at regular intervals, leaving enough space between them. Cover with another sheet of pasta and press down gently around each mound of filling to seal.
Use a ravioli cutter or a knife to cut out individual ravioli squares or circles. Make sure to seal the edges tightly.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lobster ravioli for about 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the cooked lobster ravioli and sauté briefly until they become slightly golden.
Pour in the brandy and let it cook off for a minute or two.
Add the crushed tomatoes and heavy cream to the skillet. Simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and the ravioli are heated through.
Serve the lobster ravioli hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves. Buon appetito!
