Sweet Potato Ravioli with Fig

Ravioli are a type of dumpling with a filling inside thin pasta dough. They are usually served in broth or with a sauce, and they originated as a traditional food in Italian cuisine. My German roots go deep and involve lots of good recipes, and many meals around the table. One favorite recipe that we’ve made, and I still feel my mom mastered it the best in the kitchen, is Fleischkuekle, which is like a pasta pocket filled with meat (reminds me of a ravioli).

How do you make homemade raviolis?

Ravioli are commonly square, but you can also make them circular and semi-circular.

  1. In medium bowl, combine sweet potato, mascarpone, salt, figs, pepper, and cinnamon. Mix together until smooth. Set aside.
  2. On large surface, pour flour into a mound, adding two pinches of salt. Make a crater in the center and pour in lightly beaten eggs. With fork, mix eggs and flour together, kneading until smooth. Add 2-3 tablespoons of milk if dough feels too dry. Divide dough into 6 balls. Allow dough to sit at room temperature.
  3. Using a pasta machine or a rolling pin, roll out pasta into thin sheets. Make sure surface is well floured to prevent sticking.
  4. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling—in ball form—onto the sheet. Repeat this 12-15 times, making sure the filling is lined up in even rows and each ball is spread out about 1 1/2’’ apart—I ended up with four rows of three balls.
  5. Using your finger, wet the edges of the ball with water to encourage the edges sticking together. Lay a sheet of pasta over the top. Press down around filling until pasta is sealed. Using a sharp knife, pasta cutter, or pizza cutter, cut ravioli into squares. I used a fork to press down and seal the edges.
  6. In a large pot, boil water with about 1/4 cup of salt. When water is boiling, add in pasta and cook. Remove and drain pasta when time is up.
  7. Serve warm with freshly grated Parmesan, cracked pepper, and fresh thyme.

Instead of being frenzied and rushed this time of year, I like to think of coming together as a gentle reminder to slow down, give thanks, enjoy our friends, and the beauty around us. This year, everything still feels new where we live. Even though we’re in a smaller space, we still host, but we like to keep it simple.

Some meals are quick and easy, like a delicious, cozy chili feed, or a one-pot meal, a slow-cooker meal, or even soup night. And there’s always room for new people, or last-minute, too!
