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.
RAVIOLI WITH SHRIMP TOMATO SAUCE
I came up with this recipe after I sampled a similar dish when my husband and I went out to dinner to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Now I make it at home often. When I'm not re-creating recipes, I'm busy quilting, crafting and keeping up with our four children and five grandkids.

CRAB & SHRIMP RAVIOLI WITH SAFFRON CREAM SAUCE
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!
