Steps:
- 1. Clear a counter space large enough to work with. Dump the 2-1/2 cups of flour on the counter,make a well in the middle and add the 3 large eggs.olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Using a fork mix it all together until it starts to form a dough then flour your hands and finish mixing. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place it in the fridge to rest for 10-15 minutes.
- 2. For the filling: Combine the ricotta,one egg beaten,pinch of salt,grated cheese and parsley,mix well.
- 3. Cut the rested dough into four equal pieces. Begin by rolling out one piece at a time keeping the other pieces wrapped in plastic so it doesn't dry out on you.
- 4. Roll the dough into a thin rectangle then using a teaspoon form rounded mound of the filling leaving an inch or more around each mound,makes about six at a time. Fold over one end of the dough to cover then press down around the edges to seal.(see hint at the bottom) Cut with a knife to make squares or you can use a ravioli stamp like I did. Hint:Using your finger swipe some water around the mounds of ravioli before you fold over the dough for a better seal.

JUMBO RAVIOLI
Homemade Ravioli takes a little time to make but, tastes so good! I have been making this recipe for many years. I got it from an old Good Housekeeping cookbook. I have included the pasta dough recipe that I use, but you can use your own favorite recipe. I have also included a meat filling for this recipe, but you can very easily...

Steps:
- Mound the flour and salt together on a work surface and form a well. Beat the teaspoon of olive oil, 2 eggs, and water in a bowl. Pour half the egg mixture into the well. Begin mixing the egg with the flour with one hand; use your other hand to keep the flour mound steady. Add the remaining egg mixture and knead to form a dough.
- Knead the dough until smooth, 8 to 10 minutes; add more flour if the dough is too sticky. Form the dough into a ball and wrap tightly with plastic. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- While the dough is resting, prepare the ravioli filling. Combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese, egg, and parsley and mix well. Set the filling aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and pesto sauce and cook for one minute. Pour in the heavy cream, raise the heat to high, and bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese melts. Remove the pan from the heat and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, warm the marinara sauce over medium-low heat.
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Beat the egg with the tablespoon of water to make the egg wash.
- Roll out the pasta dough into thin sheets no thicker than a nickel. To assemble the ravioli, brush the egg wash over a sheet of pasta. Drop the filling mixture on the dough by teaspoonfuls about one inch apart. Cover the filling with the top sheet of pasta, pressing out the air from around each portion of filling. Press firmly around the filling to seal. Cut into individual ravioli with a knife or pizza cutter. Seal the edges.
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the ravioli, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the ravioli float to the top and the filling is hot, 4 to 8 minutes. Drain well.
- Grease a baking sheet. Place the cooked ravioli on the sheet pan and bake in the preheated oven until brown, about 4 minutes.
- To serve the ravioli, divide them among four warmed serving bowls. Drizzle the marinara sauce over the ravioli and then top with the cream sauce.

THREE-CHEESE RAVIOLI
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk or fork.
- Add the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and mix well with a fork. Set aside.
- Fill a stock pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, lightly dust a work surface or a pastry mat with flour.
- Fill a small bowl or custard cup with room-temperature water.
- Use a bench cutter or a knife to cut the dough into 4 to 6 equally sized portions and cover them loosely with plastic wrap.
- Take one piece out and roll it into a thin sheet, about 5 to 6 inches wide, according to your pasta maker's instructions.
- Lay the piece of dough lengthwise on a floured work surface. Place teaspoon-sized dollops of filling about 2 inches apart in the center of the bottom half of the dough.
- Use your finger to moisten the area around each dollop of filling, then fold the top half of the dough over the filling to meet the other edge. Press down around each dollop of filling, making sure to press out any air bubbles.
- With a sharp knife , a pasta cutter, or a small pizza cutter, cut each ravioli apart by making a cut halfway between each portion of filling, as well as trimming the bottom edge of the pasta.
- Place ravioli on a parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining pasta dough and filling. At this point, the pasta can be refrigerated, covered with plastic wrap, for up to a day.
- To cook the pasta, add remaining 1 tablespoon salt to the stockpot of boiling water. Drop the ravioli into the boiling water.
