Yield: Makes 8 servings
Ingredients:
3/4
pound sweet potato

2
tablespoons plain nonfat yogurt

1
teaspoon minced fresh chives

1
tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon minced fresh sage, divided

24
wonton wrappers

1
tablespoon reduced-fat margarine

1
tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour

1/2
cup fat-free (skim) milk

1/2
cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth

1/2
cup (2 ounces) shredded Asiago or Cheddar cheese

1/4
teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4
teaspoon white pepper

1/8
teaspoon ground cinnamon



 
Preparation:
1.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake sweet potato 40 to 45 minutes or until tender. Cool completely. Peel potato and mash pulp. Stir in yogurt, chives and 1/4 teaspoon sage.

2.
Place wonton wrappers on counter. Spoon 1 rounded teaspoon potato mixture in center of each wonton. Spread filling flat leaving 1/2-inch border. Brush edges lightly with water. Fold wontons in half diagonally, pressing lightly to seal. Place filled wontons on baking sheet and cover loosely with plastic wrap.

3.
Bring 1-1/2 quarts water to a boil in large saucepan. Reduce heat to medium. Add a few ravioli at a time. (Do not overcrowd.) Cook until tender, about 9 minutes. Transfer to platter with slotted spoon.

4.
Melt margarine in small saucepan. Stir in flour; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually stir in milk and chicken broth. Cook and stir until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Stir in cheese, nutmeg, white pepper and cinnamon.

5.
Spoon 3 tablespoons sauce onto individual plates. Place 3 ravioli onto each plate. Sprinkle with remaining sage.
