Michael's Place (Food TV Network)


List of Ingredients

1 pound fresh crabmeat
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup basic tomato sauce
1 recipe basic pasta, rolled out thin
6 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon poppy seeds


Recipe

Bring 6 quarts water to boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. In a mixing bowl, stir together crab, scallions and basic tomato sauce until well blended. Cut pasta into 4-inch squares and place 1 tablespoon filling in center. Fold into triangles, exude air and seal edges. Bring points of long side together to form a ring (or a hat) and seal with pressure between fingers. Place tortelloni in water and boil for 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, melt butter with poppy seeds. Drain cooked tortelloni carefully and gently place in pan. Add remaining scallions and toss to coat. Serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings.
