3. To make the pasta filling, place prawns, crab, marscapone, cayenne, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in blender and pulse until smooth.
4. Roll out the pasta to 1/8-inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut into 1-inch diameter circles.
5. Put a little of the filling in the center of each pasta circle. Brush edges with water, then fold in half. Make sure no air is in semi-circle of pasta, then seal edges.
6. Roll semi-circle of pasta around your little finger till two ends meet, squeeze to join together. You have now formed tortellinis.
7. To make the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the cream and heat gently, but do not boil.
8. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Keep the sauce warm over very low heat while you cook the pasta.
9. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the fresh filled pasta and cook for 5 minutes.
10. Put pasta in a bowl, cover with sauce and sprinkle with paprika to garnish, if desired.
