Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh pasta sheets
- 1 cup sweet potatoes (about 2 medium), peeled and chopped
- 1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 10 fresh sage leaves
Instructions
- Cook the sweet potatoes in boiling water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.
- In a bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, ricotta cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper; mix well.
- Roll out fresh pasta sheets and cut into 3-inch squares.
- Place a small spoonful of the filling onto each square's center. Fold diagonally to create triangles and seal edges tightly.
- Boil salted water in a large pot and gently add caramelle; cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface.
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat; add sage leaves until fragrant (1-2 minutes). Toss cooked caramelle in the sage butter sauce before serving.
