Crab Ravioli in Creamy Tomato SauceIngredients: 1 (6-ounce) can lump crabmeat (recommended: Bumble Bee) 1/2 cup ricotta cheese 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1 (12-ounce) package wonton wrappers 1 egg, beaten 1 cup milk 1 (1.3-ounce) package creamy tomato sauce mix (recommended: Knorr) 2 tablespoons butter Chopped parsley, for garnish (which means to sprinkle over, giving an aesthetic appearance) Cooking Recipe: 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 (tap or bottled water should not matter unless the recipe calls for one kind) to boil. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine milk and reserved drained crab liquid over medium-high heat. whisk (beat lightly with a whisking utensil called a whisk, often springy looking) 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 (Italian pasta wrapper) to sauce. Repeat until all ravioli are cooked. Divide ravioli (pasta wrapper for meat or vegetable) equally among 8 plates. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
