Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat the oven to 425°. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet; bake until soft, 45 minutes. Let cool, then peel.

2.In a skillet, heat 1/2 tablespoon each butter and maple syrup over medium-high heat. Add the pumpkin seeds and toast until beginning to pop, 3 to 5 minutes; transfer to a plate. Using the same pan, melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter over medium heat; add the parsley and cook, stirring, until crisp, 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

3.Using a food processor, puree the sweet potato, 2 tablespoons butter, the remaining 2 tablespoons maple syrup and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Lay out the egg roll wrappers. Top each with 3 tablespoons of the puree in a line down the center. Moisten the edges with water, fold in half, press out the air and seal. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.

4.In a large pot of boiling, salted water, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add half of the ravioli and cook until tender, 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool. Repeat with the remaining ravioli. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water.

5.In an extra-large nonstick skillet, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat. Add the chipotles and cook for 1 minute; whisk in the reserved pasta cooking water and the bouillon base. Working in 2 batches, transfer the ravioli to the skillet and cook over medium heat until heated through, 2 minutes. Divide the ravioli and spicy butter among 4 plates; sprinkle with the cheese, parsley and pumpkin seeds.
