CRAB & SHRIMP RAVIOLI WITH SAFFRON CREAM SAUCE



Crab & Shrimp Ravioli With Saffron Cream Sauce image

A delicious dish! I make it with homemade ricotta and homemade pasta but you could cut corners by using storebought ricotta and pasta sheets and it would still be great. Its full of flavor without being too heavy and the lightness of the saffron cream sauce really lets the flavor of the crab and shrimp be the star of the dish. An instant favorite!
