2. In a medium bowl combine the crab meat, ricotta, parsley, breadcrumbs and the egg. Mix to combine.

3. Roll out one sheet of dough over the ravioli maker. Place a small spoonful of stuffing into each trench of the ravioli maker. 

4. Roll out another sheet on top and press and cut to individual sizes. Set aside on baking tray and place in freezer for roughly an hour.

5. Boil a large pot of water on the stove and cook the ravioli till they float to top and come to a rolling boil. 

6. In a large sauté pan drizzle some olive oil and sauté the shallots until tender. Toss in garlic and sauté until fragrant. 

7. Mix in the lemon zest, cream, and old bay seasoning. Bring to a simmer. Toss with the cooked ravioli. 

Viola! Simple, delicious and full of perfect flavor.
