LOBSTER RAVIOLI WITH CRABMEAT CREAM SAUCE
Steps:
- For the Lobster Ravioli: In a large saute pan, add the butter and melt. Add the garlic and shallots and saute until golden brown. Add lobster, crab, and chives and saute 2 to 3 minutes. Add Cognac and reduce for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for 30 minutes, until room temperature. Chop lobster mixture into small chunks. In a large bowl, combine lobster mixture and ricotta and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
- Lay out the first piece of Pasta Dough on the table and place 1/4-ounce mounds of stuffing 2 inches apart. Using a pastry brush, brush egg white around each bit of stuffing, making the dough damp not wet. Take the second piece and cover the bottom piece with the stuffing. Press around each ravioli being careful not to squeeze the stuffing out. Using a round ravioli cutter, cut each ravioli round and put on a sheet pan sprinkled with semolina. Gently place ravioli in boiling water and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente.
- For the sauce: Using a 12-inch saute pan at medium heat, add butter, shallots, and saute until shallots are translucent. Add the crabmeat and saute for about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the saute pan from the burner and add Cognac then place pan back on the heat to cook off the alcohol. (Please beware: the Cognac will create a large flame.) Once the flame stops, add the tomato sauce and cream with salt and cook until it reduces half way and becomes creamy. Add the cooked ravioli to the sauce and let cook together for about 1 minute before serving. Garnish with chives.
- Add all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl until all ingredients are blended. Place mixture on countertop and knead until the texture is smooth and well mixed. Separate the pasta dough into 2 equal pieces and put one piece aside. Flour the first piece, just enough to prevent sticking and roll out with a rolling pin to about 1/8th-inch thick. Repeat procedure with second piece making it as close to the shape as the first.
CRAB RAVIOLI IN CREAMY TOMATO SAUCE
Steps:
- Drain crabmeat, reserving liquid. In a small bowl, combine crabmeat, cheese, and Italian seasoning. Brush a wonton wrapper with the beaten egg. Place about 1/2 teaspoon crab mixture in the center, and fold wrapper diagonally to create a triangle. Press edges to seal. Transfer to a flour-dusted baking sheet. Repeat until all of crab filling has been used; this should make about 32 ravioli.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine milk and reserved drained crab liquid over medium-high heat. Whisk in sauce, add butter, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes. Keep sauce warm over low heat while you boil the ravioli. In batches of 8, drop ravioli into boiling water. Cook for 2 minutes, or until ravioli rise to the surface. With a slotted spoon, carefully transfer ravioli to sauce. Repeat until all ravioli are cooked. Divide ravioli equally among 8 plates. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Steps:
- In a bowl combine the crab, ricotta, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper and mix gently to combine. Do not over mix. Transfer to the refrigerator until ready to use.
- In a food processor, combine the egg, egg yolks, salt, and olive oil and pulse until creamy and combined. Add half the flour and pulse to combine. Add the remaining flour and continue pulsing until combined.
- If the dough seems too dry, add a few splashes of water. The dough should be sticky but still hold together.
- Pour the dough onto a floured surface and knead until you form the dough into a smooth, elastic ball, about 7-8 minutes total. Wrap with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes to chill.
- Cut the dough ball into 4 equal-sized pieces.
- Using your hands, flatten each piece into an equal sized rectangle and dust with flour.
- Run the first piece through a pasta machine on the widest setting (0). Dust liberally with more flour on both sides and fold the dough in half and run through the pasta machine on the widest setting again. Unfold and dust with flour again.
- Continue passing the dough through the machine, incrementally decreasing the width on the machine until you reach level 6 on the machine. Be sure to dust the dough between passes. The sheet of pasta should be thin but not breaking apart; you should be able to see your fingers through it.
- Once you have a very long sheet, lay it down on a floured surface. I used a ravioli stamp, but you can also use a knife.
- Meanwhile, roll out another piece of dough into another long piece, similar to the previous sheet. Place on a floured surface until needed.
- Using a tablespoon, spoon the ravioli filling equidistant apart on the sheet of dough. You want about 2" of clear space around the filling. You will likely have about 8 spoonfuls of filling across the sheet of dough.
- Carefully lay the second sheet of dough on top of the first sheet, lining it up as much as possible.
- Using your fingers, press the dough around the filling to push out any air pockets. You want the top layer of dough to adhere as tightly to the filling and the bottom layer of dough as possible.
- Using a stamp, knife, or even a round cookie cutter, cut the ravioli out and discard the leftover dough,.
- Continue on with the remaining 2 pieces of dough until you have used up all the filling. Note: If you have any leftover filling, you can add some panko to it and fry it up for delicious crab balls!
- At this point, you may either cook or freeze the ravioli. If freezing the ravioli, transfer them to a floured sheet pan and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Transfer to a ziplock bag and then transfer to the freezer for up to 3 months. Note: Frozen ravioli may require a few additional minutes boiling.If cooking, simply bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook for 3-6 minutes or until the ravioli float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve with a sauce of your choice. Note: Do not dump into a colander or the ravioli will break (I learned the hard way, trust me).

Steps:
- Peel and devein the shrimp, reserving the shells and heads. Chop the shrimp into bite-size pieces.
- To make the shrimp stock, combine the shrimp shells and heads, onion, and celery in a large pot. Squeeze the lemon juice into the pot, then add the lemon halves as well. Add the dried basil, oregano, thyme, peppercorns, 1/2 cup parsley, and 3 cups of water. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour, skimming away any foam or impurities that have risen to the surface. Strain the shrimp stock and set aside.
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the shrimp pieces until pink and almost cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and set aside. Add the shallots to the pan; cook and stir until the shallots have softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic, lemon zest, salt, and ground pepper. Cook for thirty seconds, then add the white wine. Bring to a boil and cook until the white wine is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp stock to the pan, bring it to a boil, and simmer until the sauce is reduce by half, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, fill a large pot with heavily salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in ravioli, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the ravioli float to the top and the filling is hot, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain well, reserving a little pasta-cooking water to thin the sauce, if necessary.
- Stir the diced tomatoes and cream into the shrimp sauce and heat through. Return the shrimp to the pan, taste the sauce, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Fold the ravioli into the sauce.
- Place four ravioli onto each of four warmed pasta bowls or plates and top with sauce. Garnish the pasta with chopped parsley and lemon zest.

Steps:
- First make the pasta. Put the flour in a food processor with almost all of your egg mixture, oil and a pinch of salt. Blitz to large crumbs - they should come together to form a dough when squeezed (if it feels a little dry gradually add a bit more egg). Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface, knead for 1 min or until nice and smooth - don't worry if it's quite firm as it will soften when it rests. Cover with cling film and leave to rest for 30 mins.
- To make the filling, mix all of the ingredients together, season and leave in the fridge until needed.
- Cut away ¼ of the dough (keep the rest covered with cling film) and feed it through the widest setting on your pasta machine. (If you don't have a machine, use a heavy rolling pin to roll the dough as thinly as possible.) Then fold into three, give the dough a quarter turn and feed through the pasta machine again. Repeat this process once more then continue to pass the dough through the machine, progressively narrowing the rollers, one notch at a time, until you have a smooth sheet of pasta. On the narrowest setting, feed the sheet through twice.
- Put the pasta sheet on a lightly floured surface, then spoon teaspoons of the filling 4cm apart on the bottom half of the sheet. Using your fingers, pat water around each blob of filling. Fold the top half over the fillings and carefully squeeze around, making sure to remove any air pockets.
- Cut between each ravioli using a pasta cutter or sharp knife, then pinch around the edges of each ravioli to make sure it is well sealed. Keep on a lightly floured baking tray while you repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. In a large, non-stick pan, melt the butter over a medium heat and cook for 2-3 mins until brown and nutty. Take off the heat and whisk in a splash of the pasta water and the lemon juice. Cook the ravioli for 2-3 mins, remove with a slotted spoon and immediately toss in the brown butter sauce. Serve topped with the lemon zest and a crack of black pepper.

CRAB RAVIOLI WITH TOMATO CREAM SAUCE
Steps:
- For the sauce: heat the olive oil in a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and their juices. Cook for about 2 minutes, then add the broth and the tomato paste. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the cream and cook until reduced by half again, about 6 minutes. Add the butter, and when melted, puree the sauce with an immersion blender. Add ground pepper and cracked red pepper to taste, and keep warm on low heat. For the raviolis: Drain the crabmeat and reserve the juice. Combine the crabmeat, ricotta, and seasonings. Place about a half teaspoon of crab mixture on each wonton wrapper. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water and fold over to seal. Bring a large stock pot of water to a boil, adding reserved crab juice and any leftover chicken broth from the sauce. Turn the heat down to a low boil and add the raviolis. Cook until soft, about 6 minutes. Combine with sauce, and top with parmesan cheese if desired.
Tips:
- Choose fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If using frozen crab, thaw it completely before using.
- Be careful not to overcook the crab. Cook it just until it is opaque and tender, otherwise it will become tough.
- Use a variety of vegetables in the filling to add flavor and texture. Some good options include spinach, zucchini, and bell peppers.
- Make sure the ravioli are sealed well so that they don't burst open when cooking.
- Cook the ravioli in a large pot of boiling salted water until they float to the top. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
- Serve the ravioli immediately with the tomato cream sauce. You can also garnish with fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley.
Conclusion:
Crab ravioli with tomato cream sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. The combination of crab, tomato, and cream is sure to please everyone at your table.
