Crawfish Ravioli

Step 1

Begin by preheating oven to appropriate temperature marked on breaded ravioli package (Or, if you are using fresh ravioli, bring salted water to a boil in pasta or soup pot).

Step 2

In a heavy bottom saucepan, melt butter/margarine over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté until onions are clear.

Step 3

Add crawfish tails and stir. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until tails begin to curl.

Step 4

Add heavy whipping cream, Cajun seasoning and nutmeg. Stir to incorporate. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes over low to medium heat.

Step 5

Meanwhile, boil fresh ravioli, or bake breaded ravioli according to package directions.

Step 6

Once ravioli is ready to plate, check for consistency and seasoning one final time. (Remember not to exceed 15 minutes crawfish cooking time; otherwise, they may become tough.)

Step 7

Plate ravioli in stacked circular pattern, ladling crawfish cream sauce over ravioli. Garnish with chopped green onion and parmesan cheese.

Step 8

Recommended Sides: Garlic bread or homemade rolls are an excellent complement to this dish. Also, try serving a green salad with a sweet onion dressing or vinaigrette.
