- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for sauce)

Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together 1 pound of crab meat, 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Place a small spoonful of the crab mixture onto a wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water and place another wonton wrapper on top. Press the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining crab mixture and wonton wrappers.
- In a large pot, bring 4 cups of chicken broth to a boil. Carefully add the ravioli and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream over low heat. Add 1/4 teaspoon of saffron threads and let it steep for 5 minutes.
- In a separate pan, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the saffron-infused cream into the pan with the garlic and butter. Stir in 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
- To serve, place the crab ravioli on a plate and drizzle with the creamy saffron sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh chives.
