ravioli w/sweet potatoes?

[2DogsFarm]

There are recipes using butternut squash as a filling & they are delicious : 9

I am growing sweet potatoes this year and they are almost ready to harvest.
This weekend I'll be making pasta with my eggs & wondered if I can devise a filling for ravioli using the sweets.

Anyone have a recipe or idea?
I was thinking of using thyme to season the potatoes and probably some carmelized garlic & onions.

BigMike, where are youuuuuuuuu?????

I think thyme, carmelized onions and garlic sound great! I think I would add a little cinnamon and clove just to get that sweet potato pie hint. Then I would just toss the cooked ravioli with olive oil and parm.

I think I would try a chees mixture too . . . maybe stick with the carm onion and garlic, but mix in gorgonzola as well . . .?

i have eaten them before they are topped with a brown butter sage ... you brown your butter and saute' sage leaves in it then pour over your sweetpotato... squash... kind of ravioli.. delish

The latest issue of Gourmet magazine has a recipe for Sweet Potato Gnocchi.

This sounds like a type of Pierogi. I make these, my grandmother made them... my family was from poland.

I find them in the store boxed in the freezer section too.

Thanks everybody!

I was thinking of serving with aioli rather than a marinara-type sauce.

Katy: the cinnamon sounds like a great addition and maybe a 2nd batch with the gorgonzola (I love blue cheeses!)

vfem: pierogi sounds like a fun way to use them too

Hope I dig lots of sweets!!!
