Description

Handmade sweet potato caramelle filled with creamy sweet potato, ricotta, and parmesan, gently tossed in fragrant sage butter. Tender pasta with a delicate sweet and savory balance, perfect for a comforting yet elegant meal.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups (250 grams) all purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 medium (500 grams total) sweet potatoes, roasted and mashed
  • 1 cup (240 grams) ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup (50 grams) grated parmesan cheese
  • 6 to 8 fresh sage leaves
  • 4 tablespoons (60 grams) unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Roast the sweet potatoes until tender, about 35 to 45 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then mash until smooth.
  2. In a bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, ricotta cheese, grated parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and set aside to cool completely.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the all purpose flour and eggs. Mix and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until a smooth and elastic dough forms. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  4. Roll the dough thin using a rolling pin or pasta machine. Cut into rectangles approximately 3 by 2 inches.
  5. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each rectangle. Fold the dough lengthwise over the filling, press to seal, and gently twist both ends to form a candy shape.
  6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Cook the caramelle for 3 to 4 minutes until they float and are tender.
  7. In a skillet, melt the unsalted butter and add the fresh sage leaves. Cook gently until fragrant. Toss the cooked pasta carefully in the sage butter and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Let the filling cool before assembling to prevent the pasta from softening.
  • Seal the edges firmly to avoid leaking during boiling.
  • Do not overcrowd the pot when cooking.
  • Freeze shaped caramelle before cooking for longer storage.
