I saw this on Everyday Italian. It really looked good. I plan on making this for Thanksgiving. This courtesy of Giada De Laurentiis. This looked easy to make. Ingredients:

2/3 cup whole milk ricotta cheese |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus |
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, for work area |
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick) |
20 fresh sage leaves |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
2 tablespoons maple syrup |
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |

5. Cool slightly.
6. Cut in half. Scoop the flesh into a large bowl.
7. Mash the sweet potatoes (Giada used a ricer).

9. Add ricotta cheese, salt, cinnamon, and pepper.

23. Brown Butter Sauce:.
24. While the gnocchi are cooking, melt butter in a large sauce pan over medium heat.

26. Continue to cook, swirling the butter occasionally until foam subsides and the milk solids begin to brown.
27. Remove pan from heat.
