Sweet Potato Ravioli with Pecans and Herb Brown Butter Sauce
- 1 pound Sweet Potato, Peeled And Cubed
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1/2 cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1/2 cups Dried Bread Crumbs
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 2- 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1 cup Hot Water
- 5 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 clove Garlic, Thinly Sliced
- 2 Tablespoons Chopped Sage
- 2 Tablespoons Chopped Parsley, Divided Use
- 2 teaspoons Chopped Thyme
- 13 cups Toasted Pecans
- Optional Garnish: Parmesan Cheese
- To make the filling: Cook the sweet potato in boiling water until tender, about 10 minutes.
- Drain, add butter and beat with a mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, salt and pepper to taste.
- Set aside.
- To make the pasta: Make a well in the center of the flour, and add in the hot water.
- Gently stir together with a wooden spoon, using your fingers if necessary to fully combine the ingredients.
- Allow to sit for a few minutes so it can cool down a bit.
- Separate the dough into two balls.
- Set one of the dough balls aside.
- Take the other one and roll it out into a rectangle.
- Be sure to flour the board and your rolling pin really well since the dough should still be sticky.
- Roll it pretty thin, because these things plump up when you cook them.
- Spoon roughly 1-2 tablespoons of filling near the edge of the dough, leaving a little room.
- Then spoon some more about an inch away from that, and keep doing this until you have a nice little row of filling dots.
- Now, fold the other side of the dough over the little balls of filling.
- Pinch the edges all the way around the dots of filling to seal it in.
- Take a glass, or a ravioli cutter if you have it (I donaTMt), and cut out the little mounds of filling and dough.
- Repeat this process with the other half of the dough.
- Cook the ravioli in gently boiling water for 4-5 minutes.
- Drain, and toss in sauce.
- For the sauce: In a large skillet melt the butter with the sliced garlic, sage, 1 tablespoon parsley and the thyme and cook over medium heat until the butter is lightly browned.
- Add the pecans, remaining parsley and cooked raviolis to the sauce and cook for 10 more seconds.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and enjoy!
