Scottish Oven Ravioli Verde with Crab Recipe
Ingredients:
- 12 ounces fresh crab meat
- 2 (6-ounce) bags fresh baby spinach leaves
- 1 cup plus 6 tablespoons semolina (pasta) flour
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 large egg
- Large pinch of salt
- 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) butter
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
How to cook Scottish Oven Ravioli Verde with Crab:
- Working in batches, puree spinach with 2 2/3 cups water in blender. Drain spinach liquid into bowl through fine sieve; discard solids. Heat spinach liquid in saucepan over medium heat until green foam forms on surface. Spoon foam into measuring cup. Add enough green water to measure 1/4 cup.
- Process semolina, yolks, egg, salt, and foam-water mixture in processor until stiff dough forms. Knead dough on floured surface 3 minutes. Shape into ball; wrap in plastic. Let rest 1 hour.
- Line 3 baking sheets with plastic. Divide pasta dough into 4 pieces. Flatten each piece. Roll out 1 dough piece in pasta machine, starting with widest setting, rolling once through each narrower setting, and finishing with the narrowest setting until dough sheet is very thin. Cut dough into 3 1/2 to 4-inch squares. Repeat with enough dough to make 16 squares total. Transfer pasta squares to prepared sheets. Cover with plastic.
- Melt butter in small saucepan over low heat, then simmer until foamy on top. Using small spoon, skim off and discard foam. Spoon clear (clarified) butter into small dish.
- Butter 2 large rimmed baking sheets. Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Add pasta squares and cook just until tender, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Drain. Rinse under cold water; drain again. Arrange 8 pasta squares in single layer on each prepared baking sheet.
- Preheat broiler. Combine crab meat and 2 tablespoons clarified butter in medium skillet over medium heat; stir just until crab meat is heated through, about 3 minutes. Divide crab meat among pasta squares on 1 baking sheet. Drape remaining 8 pasta squares over crab meat; brush pasta with 2 tablespoons clarified butter. Place under broiler just until heated through, about 2 minutes. Using wide spatula, transfer ravioli to plates; drizzle with remaining clarified butter. Sprinkle with basil.
