    Sweet Potato Ravioli with Lemon-Sage Brown Butter

    1 pound sweet potato (approximately 2 medium potatoes cooked and peeled)
    2 tablespoons grated fresh Parmesan cheese or low-fat cheese
    1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
    1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 
    24 wonton wrappers
    1 large egg white, lightly beaten
    6 quarts water
    Cooking spray
    3 tablespoons butter or margarine 
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

    Pierce potato several times with a fork; place on a foil-lined baking sheet.  Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes or until tender.  cool.  Peel potato; mash.  Tip: Bake the potatoes the day before and refrigerate overnight. 

    Combine potato, cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl.

    Working with 1 wonton wrapper at a time (cover remaining wrappers with a damp towel to keep them from drying), spoon 1 tablespoon potato mixture into center of each wrapper.  Brush edges of dough with egg white; bring 2 opposite corners to center.  Press edges together to seal, forming a triangle.  Repeat procedure with remaining wonton wrappers, potato filling, and egg white.

    Bring 6 quarts water to a boil.  Add 8 ravioli; cook 2 minutes or until done. Remove ravioli from pan with a slotted spoon.  Lightly coat cooked wontons with cooking spray; keep warm.  Repeat procedure with remaining ravioli.

    Melt butter in a small skillet over high heat.  Add chopped sage and cook 1 minute or until butter is lightly browned.  Stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, juice, and pepper.  Drizzle butter mixture over ravioli.  (I actually forgot the salt for the sauce and I didn't notice.)

    8 servings (serving size: 3 ravioli)
