CRAB & SHRIMP RAVIOLI WITH SAFFRON CREAM SAUCE



Crab & Shrimp Ravioli With Saffron Cream Sauce image

A delicious dish! I make it with homemade ricotta and homemade pasta but you could cut corners by using storebought ricotta and pasta sheets and it would still be great. Its full of flavor without being too heavy and the lightness of the saffron cream sauce really lets the flavor of the crab and shrimp be the star of the dish. An instant favorite!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality saffron. Saffron is a delicate spice, so it's important to use the best quality you can find. Look for saffron that is a deep red color and has a strong aroma.
  • Toast the saffron before using it. This will help to release its flavor and aroma. To toast the saffron, heat a small skillet over medium heat and add the saffron. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the saffron is fragrant and slightly darkened in color.
  • Use a good quality white wine. The wine you use in this recipe will contribute to the flavor of the sauce, so it's important to use a good quality wine. Choose a dry white wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
  • Don't overcook the seafood. Seafood cooks quickly, so it's important to be careful not to overcook it. Cook the seafood until it is opaque and just cooked through.
  • Serve the pasta immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.
