Crab & Chilli Tortelloni with Lemon and Garlic Butter and Samphire

Story

Those lucky enough to have driven along the Italian coastline will be familiar with the small, family-run restaurants that appear on the horizon. As one draws closer, one cannot help but marvel at how beautiful their pale blue facades look against the sun: a sort of seaside fairy tale.

But it's the waft of fresh seafood cooking in the kitchens of these little, family-run establishments that is most captivating. Granchio - "crab" in Italian - is a staple in these little coastline eating spots, where freshly-caught seafood is delivered by local fishermen in the morning, allowing the resident chef to prepare the catch at its freshest. 

In this dish, we've looked to this wonderfully idyllic scene of the Italian coastline for inspiration, choosing to serve this week's ravioli with succulent crab meat and fresh red chilli. To accentuate the flavour of - and indeed do justice to – these ingredients, we dress the ravioli in a beautiful butter infused with lemon and fresh garlic. To finish, we garnish with a little asparagi di mare (the Italians gorgeously, even poetically, refer to samphire as 'asparagus of the sea'), adding a final whisper of the Italian seaside - and at its most beautiful.
