Steps:

On a clean surface make a well with the flour. In a measuring cup, mix the eggs, water, oil and salt. Pour the wet mixture slowly into the flour and mix with 2 fingers until all of the wet is incorporated. Do not force the dough to take all the flour. If you are going to use a pasta machine to roll the dough, you may at this point form the dough into a disk and cover with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator 1 hour to rest. If you are going to roll by hand, you should kneed the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes. For the ravioli: Cut pasta dough in half. Make sure not too sticky - flour if needed. Roll out both halves very thinly about 1/8 inch. Cover 1/2 with damp towel to prevent drying. Using ravioli tray, put first strip down, brush with egg wash, then drop filling, then place second sheet on top of first. Gently press, then roll rolling pin over top.
