Sweet Potato Ravioli with Sage Butter
Flavors of Australia
Total time: 15 to 30 minutes
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: A few minutes
Difficulty: Average
Chef's Note
In Australia, the sweet potato is an everyday ingredient. It is often served as a purée, on its own as a side vegetable or in ravioli. They are simply tossed with brown butter, beurre bernois with white wine and capers. Personally, I prefer them with sage butter. I like to make my filling a day ahead so that the flavours have time to blend and develop. I also use a preserved fruit from northern Italy but it is not indispensable."

This is a very nice, elegant dish.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- Toasted almonds
- Finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano (parmesan), aged 3 years
- Ricotta cheese
- Amaretto liqueur
- Salt and pepper
- Ravioli dough (made solely with fine white flour and eggs)
Method
  1. Place the sweet potatoes in their skins into a preheated 150° C oven for about 40 minutes or until they are thoroughly cooked;
  2. remove them from the oven and peel them; purée the flesh without adding any liquid so that it stays firm; season with salt and pepper;
  3. add the almonds, parmesan and ricotta; season with salt and pepper and a few drops of Amaretto; place the mixture into an airtight container and let rest in the refrigerator;
  4. using a ravioli maker, roll out a sheet of ravioli dough; place on it little spoonfuls of the filling; cover with another sheet of pasta; seal together and cut into squares; they can also be made individually in whatever shape you choose;
  5. cook in boiling salted water - 10 g salt per litre of water - for 5 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the pasta; drain and set aside;
  6. cook the butter to a light brown, being careful that it does not get too dark; add the sage leaves and a little parmesan;
  7. pour the butter into pasta bowls; place the ravioli on top; garnish with "noodles" of fried sweet potato.

Preparing the Sweet Potato "Noodles"

  1. Cut the sweet potato into thin strands using a grater; dry well on a tea towel;
  2. fry in very hot oil (180° C) for a few seconds; drain and use for garnish.
