Time 40m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs red sweet potatoes, rinsed, patted dry, pierced all over with fork (yams)
1 (12 ounce) container fresh ricotta cheese, drained in sieve 2 hours
1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese (about 3 ounces)
2 tablespoons packed golden brown sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
2 3/4 cups about all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter
6 tablespoons chopped fresh sage, plus
whole sage leaf (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place sweet potatoes on plate; microwave on high until tender, about 5 minutes per side. Cut in half and cool. Scrape sweet potato flesh into medium bowl and mash; transfer 3 cups to large bowl. Add ricotta cheese; blend well. Add Parmesan cheese, brown sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, and nutmeg; mash to blend. Mix in flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, until soft dough forms.
  • Turn dough out onto floured surface; divide into 6 equal pieces. Rolling between palms and floured work surface, form each piece into 20-inch-long rope (about 1 inch in diameter), sprinkling with flour as needed if sticky. Cut each rope into 20 pieces. Roll each piece over tines of fork to indent. Transfer to baking sheet.
  • Bring large pot of water to boil; add 2 tablespoons salt and return to boil. Working in batches, boil gnocchi until tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer gnocchi to clean rimmed baking sheet. Cool completely. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.).
  • Preheat oven to 300°F Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until butter solids are brown and have toasty aroma, swirling pan occasionally, about 5 minutes.
  • Add chopped sage (mixture will bubble up). Turn off heat. Season sage butter generously with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer half of sage butter to large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add half of gnocchi. Sauté until gnocchi are heated through, about 6 minutes.
  • Empty skillet onto rimmed baking sheet; place in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining sage butter and gnocchi.
  • Divide gnocchi and sauce among shallow bowls. Garnish with sage leaves.
