Easy Crab Tortellini - Crab-Stuffed Pasta - Food Wishes

[@benchpress200]

I feel like Chef John is like Bob Ross in the 90's. I may not paint or cook much, but I'll still watch every episode for the soothing voice over, great sense of humour, and the beautiful creations.

[@munirahbakar4123]

Seeing that Chef John shows us his not-quite-perfect experiments, goes to show he also prescribes to the adage 'there's no mistakes, only happy accidents' 😉

[@Quantum36911]

So weird, I just said this to my Dad today in almost the same words! I think he would rather I actually try cooking one of the recipes.

[@steverouleau1184]

[@matthewb8229]

"I'm just filming seven of those, because that's one portion..." Chef John has not been to my house where, for me, seven is a good appetizer to at least a dozen of anything that involves crab. Also, doing this with spiny lobster I catch.

[@mmemagoo9835]

Made it last night. As he said, it's super delicious. The wonton wrappers were surprisingly tender and unassuming! (You know how sometimes the pasta can be thick and heavy and take over the dish? Well, not so here! Light enough to let the filling and sauce shine). Followed the recipe as written except poblano for jalapeño and 1 cup creme fraiche and 1/2 cup cream. As normal for Chef John's recipes, this is uncomplicated, easily mastered and the results impressive. By the 5th or 6th tortellini I felt like a Italian pro. whipping them out...Round the finger, round the finger. So much fun with food! Thanks again, Chef. Madame Magoo

[@mmemagoo9835]

Forgot to mention...7 is a good sized portion for most people! These are rich and filling. With a simple side salad we were stuffed. (Pardon my pun, tee hee).

You know, melt in your mouth, not in your hand, but they never said anything about in your tortellini; go ahead, and see how it works! But definitely take out the crab meat and....actually, most of the ingredients aside from mustard would work with chocolate, although maybe use a nice dark chocolate instead of M&Ms. Or at least use dark chocolate M&Ms.

Thank you so much for the wonton wrapper idea! I want to make a nice meal of surf and turf pasta for my dad's birthday. These crab tortellini will be perfect for the surf and I will do braised beef short rib filling for the turf with a brown butter sauce to let the pasta flavors shine through. With wonton wrappers, that meal is so much simpler.

[@w6wdh]

I used half of the crab mixture to make crab tortellini for two (which was spectacular), and the other half to make crab cakes Eggs Benedict for breakfast the next day. (Form leftover crab mixture into 4 patties, then dredge in beaten egg and panko crumbs, and fry.) Yum!

Not too shabby. I've been trying to figure out what to do with my won ton wrappers I have left over. Sadly, the worst part of me trying to experiment with my pasta dishes is the fact that my wife is an extrEAMly picky eater and sadly does not like cream sauces. I know, I know...hopefully our love will make our marriage last for decades to come lol My step-daughter however is always up for everything and loves pretty much whatever I cook. Definitely going to try this...with a tomato sauce though ;)

Chinese refer to this fold as the golden ingot,and is said to bring luck to the eater. When full of crab these are very lucky indeed. Going to make this soonest.
