Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 lb), roasted
- 1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
- ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (for sauce)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (for sauce)
Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, mix flour and eggs until you have a cohesive dough. Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes. Wrap in plastic and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
- 2. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork and roast for 45-60 minutes until tender. Cool, peel, and mash.
- 3. Make the Filling: Combine mashed sweet potatoes, ricotta, basil, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth.
- 4. Roll Out Dough: Divide rested dough into quarters, rolling each thinly on a floured surface. Cut into circles.
- 5. Assemble Caramelle: Place about one tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle, fold over to seal edges firmly.
- 6. Cook Caramelle: Boil salted water in a large pot; drop caramelle in and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float.
