Serves: 8 servings

Ingredients
6 ounces Shanghai Harry Crab meat (or substitute Bumble Bee brand canned
crabmeat)
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

Directions

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 to boil. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan,
combine milk and reserved drained crab liquid over medium-high heat. Whisk
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 to sauce. Repeat until all ravioli are
cooked. Divide ravioli equally among 8 plates. Sprinkle with parsley and
serve.
