Sweet Potato Ravioli is a comforting dish that combines the earthy sweetness of sweet potatoes with the delicate texture of homemade pasta. Originating from Italian cuisine, this kosher version uses a sage butter sauce to enhance the flavors without dairy, making it perfect for a pareve meal. This dish is a heartwarming favorite during the fall and winter months, when sweet potatoes are at their finest. Pair it with a light salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. For those interested in pasta-making, this recipe also introduces the art of rolling pasta dough—a skill that can be transferred to dishes like kosher spinach lasagna or mushroom tortellini.

- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and olive oil.
- Gradually mix the flour into the eggs with a fork until a dough begins to form.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- In a bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, parve cream cheese, nutmeg, black pepper, and salt. Mix until smooth and set aside.
- Divide the rested dough into four pieces. Roll each piece into a thin sheet using a pasta roller or a rolling pin.
- Place small mounds of filling about 1 inch apart on one sheet of dough.
- Brush water around the filling mounds and place another sheet of dough on top. Press down gently to seal.
- Cut the ravioli using a pasta cutter or knife and set aside on a floured tray.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook for 4-5 minutes until they float to the surface.
