Prepare the Ravioli

  1. 1

    Make the Filling

    Boil sweet potatoes until tender, then mash and mix with ricotta cheese and salt. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Dough

    In a bowl, mix flour and eggs until a dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes, then let rest for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Ravioli

    Roll out dough, fill with sweet potato mixture, and seal edges to form ravioli. Boil in salted water for 3-4 minutes until they float.

Prepare the Ham and Beans

    Sauté the Ham

    In a skillet, melt butter and add Bravo ham. Sauté until slightly crispy.

  2. 5

    Cook the Beans

    Add pole beans to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes until tender.

Make the Brown Butter Sauce

  1. 6

    Brown the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, then stir in lemon juice.

Searing the Scallops

  1. 7

    Sear the Scallops

    In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over high heat. Season scallops with salt and pepper, then sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
