--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      pound         fresh crab meat
   4                    scallions -- thinly sliced, plus
   4                    scallions
     1/4  cup           basic tomato sauce -- see * note
   1      recipe        basic fresh egg pasta -- see * note,
                        rolled out to thinnest setting
   6      tablespoons   butter
   1      tablespoon    poppy seeds

Preparation:

* Note: See the "Basic Tomato Sauce" and "Basic Fresh Egg Pasta" recipes which are included in this collection. Bring 6 quarts water to boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. In a mixing bowl, stir together crab, scallions and Basic Tomato Sauce until well blended. Cut Basic Fresh Egg Pasta into 4-inch squares and place 1 tablespoon filling in center. Fold into triangles, exude air and seal edges. Bring points of long side together to form a ring (or a hat!!) and seal with pressure between fingers. Place tortelloni in water and boil for 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, melt butter with poppy seeds. Drain cooked tortelloni carefully and gently place in pan. Add remaining scallions and toss to coat. Serve immediately. Source: MOLTO MARIO with Mario Batali From the TV FOOD NETWORK - (Show # MB-1D15)
