- Add the prawns and parsley and season to taste.
- You should end up with a nice, chunky mixture, that sticks really well to the spoon.
- Cut the pasta into round shapes. the size is up to you, depending on how big you would like your ravioli to be. Mine were quite large.
- Place spoonfuls of the mixture in the middle of the disks. Make sure that the edges are clear.
- Moisten the edges with warm water and cover the disk with another disk and seal them together
- Set the ravioli aside and cover them with a slightly dampened cloth while you prepare your sauce.

- Place your cream in a pan with the parsley and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the cream starts to thicken.
