CRABIOLI


2 bags frozen cheese-filled ravioli
1 tsp. minced garlic in water
4 Tbsp. butter divided
3 Tbsp. flour
2 c. milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 lb. imitation crabmeat, broken into bite-size pieces (can use real crabmeat, if preferred)
1 c. freshly-grated Parmesan cheese 


In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tbsp. butter over low heat. Add garlic, and saute a minute or two. Whisk in flour, then gradually add the milk. Cook and whisk over low heat until smooth and thick. Add salt and pepper. Turn heat off and place lid on to keep warm.

Cook ravioli according to manufacturer's directions. Drain and set aside.

Melt the additional tablespoon of butter in a medium microwaveable bowl. Add the crabmeat, and heat for 1 1/2 minutes at high, turning halfway.

Divide hot ravioli on individual serving plates. Top each with warm crab, then sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
