With fall finally upon us (okay people, in Vegas anything under 85 degrees is fall) here is a totally delicious recipe just right for cooler weather.Don't worry, it's really easy and it's even good for you! (I got the recipe from the October issue of Cooking Light)
I cooked the sweet potato in the microwave the night before I made this dish. I also used a white sweet potato but it would have looked better with an orange one (labeled 'yams' in the supermarket).
I served it with cider braised greens and ham for a gourmet but still healthy and delicious twist on soul food. Enjoy!
Ingredients
1 (1-pound) sweet potato
2 tablespoons grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
24 wonton wrappers
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
6 quarts water
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°.
Pierce potato several times with a fork; place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 40 minutes or until tender. Cool. (This is where I just microwaved) Peel potato; mash. Combine potato, cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt and nutmeg in a small bowl.
Working with 1 wonton wrapper at a time (cover remaining wrappers with a damp towel to keep them from drying), spoon 1 tablespoon potato mixture into center of each wrapper. Brush edges of dough with egg white; bring 2 opposite corners to center. Press edges together to seal, forming a triangle. Repeat procedure with remaining wonton wrappers, potato filling, and egg white.
Bring 6 quarts water to a boil. Add 8 ravioli; cook 2 minutes or until done. Remove ravioli from pan with a slotted spoon. Lightly coat cooked wontons with cooking spray; keep warm. Repeat procedure with remaining ravioli.
Melt butter in a small skillet over high heat. Add chopped sage to pan; cook 1 minute or until butter is lightly browned. Stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, juice, and pepper. Drizzle butter mixture over ravioli.
