This Vegan Sweet Potato Ravioli recipe made 100% from scratch is my new favorite. Just picture a homemade pasta filled with a flavorful sweet potato filling and tossed with cherry tomato wine sauce. It’s so good.
1/2 cup dry white wine such as Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio etc
2 tsp maple syrup or sweetener of choice
fresh herbs such as basil, parsley or thyme, chopped
Instructions
Cook cubed sweet potatoes in a medium pot of boiling water until fork tender, about 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, drain the water, then place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl to cool. Then mash with a fork.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour the water. Mix with your hands until it forms a solid ball. Add more water/flour if needed.
Transfer to a well floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. Cover with a plastic wrap or kitchen towel and let it rest for about 10 minutes. If using a standing mixer with a dough hook there’s no need to knead with hands.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Preheat olive oil, add onion and garlic and cook on a medium high heat until well browned, stirring constantly. Stir in the mashes sweet potatoes, add rice crumbs or bread crumbs, nutritional yeast, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add salt.
To make the ravioli, you can use this ravioli maker following the instructions, knife or pizza cutter. Divide the dough in 4 equal parts. Roll the dough into thin sheets. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling one inch apart over half the pasta sheet (12 in total). Cover the filling with another sheet of pasta and press firmly around the filling to seal. Cut into individual ravioli with a knife or pizza cutter. Seal the edges.
Cook the ravioli, stirring occasionally, until the they float to the top. Between 3-5 minutes. Drain well.
To make the sauce. Add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to the same pan you cooked the onion. Add cherry tomatoes, garlic, wine and honey. Bring to a simmer and cook until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ravioli and add fresh herbs.
