Instructions

  1. Prepare the pasta dough
    On a clean work surface, create a mound with the flour and make a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well, add salt and olive oil. Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a dough forms. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic and let rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Make the cheese filling
    In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan, mozzarella, and gorgonzola cheeses. Mix in the chopped parsley, nutmeg, and black pepper until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Roll the pasta
    Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Working with one portion at a time (keeping others covered), roll through a pasta machine starting at the widest setting and gradually decreasing to the second-thinnest setting. Alternatively, roll by hand to approximately 1/16 inch thickness.
  4. Form the ravioli
    Lay one pasta sheet on a lightly floured surface. Place 1 tablespoon mounds of filling along the sheet, leaving 1.5 inches between each mound. Brush the exposed pasta with egg wash. Place a second sheet on top and press around each mound to seal, removing any air pockets. Cut into squares with a ravioli cutter or knife.
  5. Cook the ravioli
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully add the ravioli in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface and the pasta is tender. Remove with a slotted spoon.
  6. Serve
    Serve the ravioli immediately with your favorite sauce - sage butter, marinara, or a light cream sauce all work beautifully. Garnish with additional grated Parmesan and fresh herbs if desired.
