CRAB AND PRAWN RAVIOLI IN SEAFOOD BISQUE
This is a dish I learned to make at Leith's cooking school in London. It takes a little work, but is divine. You could make the pasta dough, filling and sauce ahead of time, but I recommend cooking the pasta as soon as possible after you've made it. If you must store it for a few hours, then separate the ravioli with plastic wrap or parchment paper to keep them from sticking together.

Steps:
- Make the pasta by mixing all the ingredients together in a food processor with the normal blade.
- You can also do this by mixing the flour and eggs together by hand on a wooden board, but it just takes longer and the end result is the same.
- Turn the dough out onto the counter.
- Use your hands to shape it into a ball and draw together any crumbs.
- Wrap in clingfilm and leave to relax in a cool place for an hour.
- Meanwhile, make the filling.
- Remove the prawns from their shells.
- Put the crabmeat and prawns in the food processor and whiz until smooth.
- Add the egg white, lemon juice salt and pepper and whiz again until just mixed.

- Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Add the brandy, tomatoes, bay leaf, tomato puree and star anise.
- Add the stock and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Strain the sauce and reduce to 150 ml by boiling rapidly.
- Add the cream, reduce to the consistency of single cream and season to taste.
- Set the sauce aside and roll out your pasta dough as thinly as possible using a pasta maker.
- You want a strip about 6 inches wide.
- Place teaspoonfuls of the filling in even rows at intervals of 1 1/2 inches over half of the pasta.
- Fold the other half over the mounds of filling.
- Press together, firmed around each mound to make sure you have squeezed out all the air.
- Cut between the rows, making sure the edges are sealed.

Steps:
- 1. You're going to love this if you're hungry and are too tired to cook - it could happen. Follow the directions on the back of the package - open it, pour into a 2-quart saucepan, add 1 cup milk, bring to boil stirring frequently, add sherry, lower heat, simmer until ravioli and veggies are done.
- 2. Bertolli as a rule is a good product and I've always been curious about their prepared, frozen meals. This shopping day I decided to walk on the wild side and check them out. I bought this bisque, Meal soup for 2, and a pasta dish with shrimp and asparagus. I'm not ashamed it was so easy to throw together and am looking forward to the pasta.
- 3. Kick back, sip a martini as you cook, enjoy!
Tips:
- Use a variety of seafood. This will give your bisque a more complex flavor. Some good options include shrimp, lobster, crab, and scallops.
- Don't overcook the seafood. Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough.
- Use a good quality fish stock. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your bisque. You can make your own fish stock or use a store-bought brand.
- Add some vegetables. Vegetables will add flavor and texture to your bisque. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and leeks.
- Season your bisque to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of crème fraîche.
