Sweet Potato Ravioli with Browned Butter and Crispy Herbs
Serves 6-8
Ingredients
For Ravioli:
1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Winter Spice Seasoning
salt and freshly ground pepper
4 sheets pasta dough, 12 to 14 inches long by 4 inches wide
1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water
For Brown Butter Sauce:
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans
7 sage leaves, chiffonade
1 tablespoon thyme leaves
1 tablespoon rosemary leaves
salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions
Make Raviolis:
Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the sweet potatoes until soft, about 1 hour. Set aside to cool.
Peel the sweet potatoes and add 2 cups potato flesh to the Vitamix. Add brown sugar, cheese, seasoning mix, and process until the mixture is smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Lay a sheet of pasta dough on a lightly floured work surface and distribute a heaping teaspoon-sized portion of the filling at least 2 inches apart. Use your fingertip to moisten the edges of the pasta sheet with the egg wash. Carefully place a second sheet of the pasta dough on top of the first and press with your fingertips to separate the rows of filling. Using a fork, press the dough along the rows to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough. With a ravioli cutter or pastry wheel, cut out ravioli squares. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop in the raviolis and cook for about 5 minutes. Drain, plate and spoon butter sauce over and garnish with crispy herbs.
Make Brown Butter Sauce:
Melt butter in a medium sauté pan over medium heat and cook until the foam subsides and the butter begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add herbs and nuts, stirring 1 minute more. Remove from the heat, cool for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
