My grandfather used to make this, and I've never gotten around to it. It is great! Use the best eggs you can find for this.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl mix together all of the ingredients for the filling EXCEPT for the egg yolks. Set aside (in the fridge) in a zip lock bag until it is time to fill.
- 2
Prepare the pasta dough. Dump the flour onto a work surface, make a well about 6-8 inches across. Crack all of the eggs in and add the oil and salt/pepper. Stir with a fork, whisking the eggs, and slowly working flour into the center.
- 3
Once the center liquid is no longer so runny that it runs all over the place, begin to really work the dough, kneading for about 15 minutes. It will slowly turn more golden, rendering a soft supple dough ball.
- 4
In a large (shallow if you have it) pot bring the boiling Liquid to a simmer slowly until the raviolo are made.
- 5
Cut the dough in half, and roll thin. (Use a pasta roller, don't be a hero). You will now have two sheets of very thin dough. Keep under a damp kitchen towel until you are ready to fill and seal.
- 6
On one sheet, measure (with a custard bowl or ramekin) about 3-3 1/2 inch circles and determine where you need to place your filling "nests". Pipe some of the ricotta mixture on each 3-3 1/2 inch "template" if you will. You don't need much, maybe 1-2 tablespoons?
- 7
Dip a large spoon into hot water and create a small divot in the center of the filling. Slowly place the egg yolk in the center. Lay the other sheet of pasta over the filling/yolks and press around each "nest" with your fingers to create a preliminary seal.
- 8
Using a knife or pasta rolling cutter, liberate each raviolo from the collective sheet. Roll/press the edges of each raviolo thinner to ensure even cooking as well as a better seal.
- 9
Hold on a plate with a few drops of EVOO rubbed on it until ready to boil and fry.
- 10
In a small saucepan, combine all sauce ingredients, bring to simmer and allow to cook for 5-10 minutes. Blend with an immersion blender or stand blender. (Pass through a sieve of you have the time/will) set aside.
- 11
In a sauce pan large enough to accommodate all of your raviolo, melt some butter along with any herb or garlic you'd like (this is to fry the raviolo after boiling)
- 12
Once the broth is boiling (lightly) place each raviolo in carefully. Do this with 15 seconds in between each one to make it easier to pull them out in order. (Make sure you keep an eye to remember which one is which)
- 13
Boil for approximately 4-5 minutes, remove from the liquid into the butter, and baste until they are done. It is difficult to give exact times, you just have to guess. Just don't go too long on this, you want to keep the raviolo soft and tender (also the yolk runny)
- 14
I plated my raviolo over the sauce with a few drops of balsamic vinegar but it's up to you. I think that's the better choice so you can truly appreciate the egg yolk running out of the finished product. Top with Parmigiano Reggiano and a few drops of good evoo and enjoy with a salad and some garlic bread!

I had a family size bag of ravioli in the freezer that was forgotten for a minute. I forgot to thaw anything for dinner. Go me. Story of my freakin life. We needed a change from marinara. I whipped this together in the time it took the hubs to take the grandkids home, about 30 minutes. As my granddaughter says,”it was deeewishus”! This isn’t authentic by any stretch but it was really good. Also, there’s none left lol SherryRandall: The Leftover Chronicles -

Ravioli w/ Meat Sauce Ravioli w/ Meat Sauce
My eyes lit up when I found this pasta machine in the store one day. Then I started thinking about making ravioli. I kept my eyes open for a ravioli cutter, but couldn’t find one. I found a “Ravioli Plate”. I want to stress that this is one of those items that you’ve got to spend the money on. I found that out after the fact. I was able to make reasonable looking ravioli, but I was left with a lot of extra filling. I ended up putting the leftover filling into the sauce. I feel like the ravioli cutter would be better because then you’re not bound by the size of the cavity in the plate. I was very upset that I couldn’t make larger, more packed ones. Nonetheless, I carried on. Live and learn. Fair warning: it’s kind of a pain in the behind to make this... but you’ll have the everlasting privilege of being able to say you made homemade ravioli.

Ravioli with Meat Sauce Ravioli with Meat Sauce
Growing up, I loved when Moma would buy a large can of ravioli. I asked her why she didn’t make it from scratch cuz she made everything else she cooked. Her reply, “I don’t do pasta” 😳 she didn’t cook anything she didn’t like. She hated pasta of any kind!So, she bought premade stuff that my Daddy and I liked. Now, I found a shortcut to “homemade” ravioli. Sonya Bankester -
Potato Ravioli In Tomato Sauce Potato Ravioli In Tomato Sauce
For my husband's birthday, I wanted to make something that seemed homemade, for the first time in a while, and I wanted to use some canned tomato sauce. This recipe is the product of a mix of recipe books I looked at, recipes I looked at online and my own ideas.- It's easier to shape the ravioli if you use a ruler while cutting it. It's good to use a pizza cutter on the dough, but you can also use a knife!- Don't overboil the ravioli when boiling them. They will fall apart.- Canned tomato sauce is usually tasty by itself as well. It's mild, so you can enjoy making different flavors with it. Recipe by Michikana cookpad.japan -
