CRABMEAT RAVIOLI

Steps:

• To prepare the sauce: Melt the butter over medium heat and stir in the flour, salt, and pepper. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, whisking constantly. Slowly whisk in the cream and continue to whisk until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the whisk. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce is reduced to 1 cup. To prepare the filling: Add the crabmeat to the sauce. Melt the butter in a saute pan and saute the onions until they are clear but not browned. Add the onions and crumbs to the cream sauce. Mix, then let cool to room temperature. Form into balls the size of large marbles. To prepare the ravioli dough: Put the flour into a bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Work together with your hands until the dough forms a ball. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5 to 6 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Form into a ball and place in an oiled bowl; turn to coat with oil and set aside to rest for 1 hour. Cut the dough into quarters and roll out into thin strips in a pasta maker. Lay two strips on a lightly floured surface. Place crabmeat balls about 1-1/2 inches apart on each sheet. Paint the surface around the balls with water and top each with a second sheet of pasta. Press down around each ball to seal. Dust lightly with flour and cut into squares with a fluted pasta cutter. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Slip the ravioli into the water and boil for 5 minutes. Remove and drain on towels. To prepare the sauce: Put the cream in a heavy saucepan and reduce by one third over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk in the butter. To serve: Divide the ravioli among four warmed serving plates. Spoon sauce over the ravioli. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.

HOMEMADE CRAB RAVIOLI RECIPE

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).

DUNGENESS CRAB RAVIOLI WITH MEYER LEMON CREAM SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Make The Crab Filling: Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add one third of the minced shallots and cook until just translucent; remove from the heat and let cool. Stir in the crabmeat, 1 tablespoon of the chives, all the parsley, and 1 teaspoon of the mustard; season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Divide the crabmeat filling into 24 equal portions.
• Fill The Wonton Ravioli: On a clean dry work surface, use a pastry brush to lightly brush 8 wonton wrappers with water. Place 1 portion (about 2 teaspoons) of the crab filling in the center of each wonton. Cover with a second wonton wrapper, press out any air pockets and seal tightly. Using a 3-inch round or fluted biscuit cutter, trim the excess dough. Transfer the ravioli in a single layer to a baking sheet lined with plastic wrap. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• Make The Cream Sauce: Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium nonstick frying pan. Add the remaining shallot and cook over medium heat, stirring, until soft. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of chives and all the cream and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Stir in the thinly sliced garlic, remaining mustard, and lemon rind and simmer over low heat until sauce coats the back of a spoon, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Cook The Ravioli: Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Lower heat to medium-high then cook the ravioli in batches (about 8 to 10 at a time) in simmering water until they start to rise to the surface, about 1 to 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, gently remove the ravioli to a colander to drain.Add the drained ravioli to the cream and reheat, stirring gently, over low heat. As needed, add a few tablespoons of the cooking water to help the sauce coat the pasta. Serve immediately garnished with lemon zest and chives.
