Step 1. Crab

Plunge the crab into 2L of salted boiling water and cook for 40 min. Leave to cool.

Step 2. Ravioli Dough

2. Put a little filling in the center of the dough and fold over into a half-moon shape.
3. Cut the edges with a round pastry cutter.
4. Cook the ravioli in salted boiling water for 6 min, then strain and put them on a plate.
