Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound of fresh ravioli dough
- 1 pound of lump crabmeat
- 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup of dry white wine
- 1/4 cup of heavy cream

Instructions
- Roll out the ravioli dough into thin sheets and cut into squares.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the lump crabmeat, ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
- Place a small spoonful of the crab mixture onto half of the ravioli squares, leaving space around the edges.
- Brush the edges of the filled ravioli squares with water and place another square on top, pressing the edges to seal the ravioli.
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the ravioli for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Pour in the white wine and cook for 2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
- Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and gently toss to coat with the sauce.
- Divide the ravioli among serving plates, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, and serve hot.
