I discovered this treasure of a recipe at a friend's house a few weeks back. He went all out with homemade pasta noodles. I have no pasta maker (yet) and so had to use store bought wraps. They worked fine.
The recipe is available on Epicurious.
2 1-pound red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams)
2 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter, room temperature
My additions:
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Ginger
1/4 tsp Allspice
(Could just as easily substitute Pumpkin Pie Seasoning)
Cut the sweet potatoes in half, lengthwise. Place cut side down on cookie sheet that has been lightly oiled. I heated the oven to 350 and cooked for about an hour. This is different then the recipe. Either way works fine. Allow to cool once cooked.
Once they are cooled enough to touch, scoop the inside into a bowl.
Sad, leftover skins.
Now, if you are super fancy, you can make your own ravioli. I'm not that fancy. I bought the Nasoya All Natural Round Wraps.
Scoop the filling on to the center of the wrap. I had a small bowl of water that I dipped my finger in and wiped around the edge before folding them over and pressing together. Sorry, no picture of that.
I was able to make about 54 raviolis and there are 60 in the pack. I didn't measure out the stuffing, but perhaps could have stretched it if I had measured.
Tomorrow, I'll drop them in boiling salted water for about 3 minutes then make the sauce. Look out for part 2 of this post....tomorrow.
