Ingredients

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

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.

Crab ravioli
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Not as good as it sounds. I did not make the sauce, I used a Vodka sauce instead and added garlic and mozarrela cheese to the... crab micture, so it turned out ok, I think the concept is good, but the ingriedients could use a overhaul.Read more

Delicious
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The meal was delicious although it was hard to taste the crab. I used a vodka sauce. It was a very nice compliment and any... creamy tomato sauce would work nicely. I should have used more than a 1/2 teaspoon for the filling next time, though it probably depends on the won ton wrapper size. Not having enough filling may have been the reason I didn't taste the crab. The won ton wrapper was such a great idea, I am going to try it with other fillings! Read more

easy and awesome
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

We made just the ravioli portion and used a separate vodka sauce recipe. The ravioli were so simple to make it was amazing.... We used round wonton wrappers and a dumpling press (best $5 investment ever) for assembly. Everything turned out great and i had a friend at work help me with the leftovers and even she was impressed at the simplicity. This recipe is definitely a keeper!Read more

Good with adjustments
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This recipe was a good basis for my own creation. I made some adjustments and it was really good! I used cream cheese and... sour cream instead of Ricotta cheese in the filling along with some sundried tomatoes and basil pesto. The sauce I used cream, tomato paste and tied in the sundried tomatoes and basil pesto. Making the raviolis was a little tedious, but the wonton wrappers were very easy to use and were a lot lighter on the stomach than heavy pasta. Was pretty simple and my fiance and I were really pleased....so thanks to Sandra Lee for the idea!Read more

Horrible sauce, ok ravioli.
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I wish I would have read these reviews before I wasted my time! Using the sauce packet was a terrible idea, it tasted... repulsive and was too overpowering. I also agree that the italian seasoning was too much for the filling. The wontons worked well though, this is the second ravioli dish we've used them in and will continue to.Read more
