Sweet Potato Ravioli With Basil Brown Butter

I found this online and tweeked it to suit our tastes and to use the ingredients I had available. We like the result and hope you will too.

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1  large sweet potato, baked through in oven wrapped in foil, scooped out hot
• 1⁄2 teaspoon five-spice powder
• 1  teaspoon green onion, finely chopped
• 1  tablespoon honey
• 1 (12 ounce) package wonton skins
• 1  egg
• 4  tablespoons butter
• 1  bunch fresh basil leaf
• 1  tablespoon  rice wine vinegar
• 1  tablespoon  balsamic vinegar
•  kosher  salt & freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1. To make ravioli filling: In a bowl combine the sweet potato, five spice, green onion and honey. Check for flavor and season with salt and pepper.
2. When filling has cooled, form ravioli: Place wonton skin down, lay one large basil leaf in center, top with puree and another basil leaf.
3. In a small bowl mix egg with 2 T water to make egg wash. Brush egg wash around edges and top with another wonton skin.
4. Seal tightly, making sure to remove as much air as possible.
5. Repeat with remaining filling and wonton skins.
6. In batches, cook ravioli in gently boiling water until done - this should only take a few minutes.
7. In a small saucepan cook butter over medium heat until browned, but not burnt. When butter is browned, remove from heat and add basil, taking care to stand back because the natural moisture in the basil will cause the butter to pop.
8. Add vinegars and stir to combine. Drizzle sauce over ravioli and serve.
