Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the chopped Yukon gold potato and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until tender when pierced with a fork. Transfer the potato to a large bowl using a slotted spoon; mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Stir in the ricotta cheese until well combined.
-
Step 2.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until it starts to brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the ground pork and cook for 2 minutes, breaking up any large pieces with a spoon. Stir in the brown sugar, dried thyme, garlic powder, dried sage, salt, and pepper; continue cooking for about 6 minutes, until the pork is browned and cooked through. Transfer the pork mixture to the bowl with the potato and ricotta; stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired. Set the skillet aside (do not wash) to use later for the sauce.
-
Step 3.
Divide the rested pasta dough into quarters. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each quarter into a thin sheet (about 12 by 4 inches if using a pasta roller). Lay one sheet on the floured surface. Place teaspoons of the filling about 1 inch apart over the entire sheet, leaving a border around the edges. Using a pastry brush or your fingertip, lightly brush water in the spaces between the filling mounds. Lay a second sheet of dough over the first; press gently around each mound of filling to seal, pushing out any air. Cut into squares with a pastry wheel or a knife; if using a knife, crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

Step 4.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, add the ravioli and boil for 7 to 8 minutes, until tender and they float to the surface. Transfer the cooked ravioli to serving dishes using a slotted spoon, reserving ¼ cup of the pasta water.
-
Step 5.
Return the skillet with the pork drippings to medium heat. Add the white wine and simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the heavy cream, butter, and chopped sage; simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly. If the sauce is too thick, add the reserved pasta water a teaspoon at a time until it reaches the consistency of thick cream. Spoon the sauce over the ravioli and top with shaved or shredded Parmesan cheese.
