Sweet Potato Ravioli

From A:

Last night's dinner was sweet potato ravioli.  I found the recipe online, which had been adapted from a butternut squash ravioli recipe.

Despite having a short ingredient list, this recipe turned out to be fairly labor intensive.  Luckily, since J and I cooked together, we were able to make an assembly line to reduce time in the kitchen.

Here are the ingredients:

• 1 extra-large sweet potato (we used 4 small sweet potatoes since we had them, but it made extra filling)
• 1 small onion (we only used about 1/4 of a small onion)
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese (we used grated)
• 2 tbsp dried breadcrumbs
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp water
• 1 package of won ton wrappers
• pinch of nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp of salt and pepper
• 3 tbsp butter
• fresh sage - about 2 tbsp worth (we should have used less and cut it in smaller pieces)

Here's what you do:

Cook the sweet potato at 425 degrees until tender (about 40 minutes).  
Remove it from the oven, let it cool, peel off the skin, and mash it up.

Heat oil in a small skillet on medium heat.  
Chop the onion and cook until it starts to brown slightly.

Combine in a bowl: 
potato, onion, parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, 1 egg, nutmeg, salt, pepper.

Using the other egg, make an egg wash with the egg white and 1 tsp of water.
Place a small tbsp of the mixture in the center of a won ton wrapper.

Brush some of the egg wash around the 4 edges of the won ton.
Place another won ton wrapper on top of that.  
Press the edges together.

Crimp the edges with a fork. 

Continue until all won tons are filled.

 Boil some water with a dash of salt.
Place the won tons gently into the boiling water.  
Let them boil for about 3-5 minutes until softened. 

Use a slotted spoon to carefully take each ravioli out of the pot.  
Drain on some paper towels.

Meanwhile, melt the 3 tbsp of butter in a small skillet.  
Remove from the heat and add thinly sliced sage leaves to the butter.
Pour the sage butter sauce over the ravioli and enjoy!

We both really liked the dish and agreed that making ravioli out of won ton wrappers is something we'd like to try with other types of filling.

Now we just need to figure out what to do with our leftover filling...
