This pasta feast is perfect for a Sunday dinner (although it would be nice, too, for making any night of the week into a celebration). Its centerpiece is ravioli—stuffed with lobster, the king of all shellfish—that get baked with three kinds of cheese and a crispy breadcrumb crust. In other words, it’s creamy, rich, and truly feels and tastes special. And it only gets more exciting when you consider the sides—lemony roasted baby broccoli and cheesy garlic bread toasts.

Wash and dry all produce. Adjust rack to upper position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Zest 2 tsp zest from lemon. Trim baby broccoli, then toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil and plenty of salt and pepper. Roast until tender, about 15 minutes. Toss with lemon zest once done.
Meanwhile, split ciabattas in half (as if you were making sandwiches). Squeeze 1 packet garlic herb butter into a small, microwave-safe bowl. (TIP: If butter is cold, microwave until just spreadable, about 10 seconds.) Stir in half the Parmesan, then spread mixture onto cut sides of ciabattas. Place ciabattas cut-side up on a baking sheet.
Place 1 TBSP plain butter in a medium, microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. Stir in panko, remaining Parmesan, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside. Once water boils, add ravioli to pot. Cook until just tender, 2-3 minutes. Scoop out and reserve ¼ cup cooking water, then drain.
Finely chop chives and set aside. Place a large, ovenproof pan over medium-high heat and add remaining garlic herb butter. Stir in flour, ¼ tsp nutmeg (we sent more), and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Cook 30 seconds, then gradually whisk in milk and ¼ cup reserved cooking water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until starting to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove pan from heat and stir in Gruyère and Italian cheeses. Season with salt and pepper. Carefully stir in ravioli and half the chives. (TIP: If your pan is not ovenproof, transfer contents to a baking dish.) Adjust rack to position closest to flame and heat broiler to high. Sprinkle ravioli with panko mixture. Place pan under broiler. Place ciabatta halves under broiler as well. Broil until both are golden brown, 2-3 minutes.
Scatter remaining chives over broiled ravioli. Cut ciabattas in half on a diagonal. Halve lemon, then squeeze juice from one half over baby broccoli and give it a toss. Divide between plates along with ravioli and garlic bread. Sprinkle with chili flakes, if desired (skip this for the kids).
