Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mound flour on a clean counter. Make a well in the center and crack eggs into it.

  2. Step 2

    Beat eggs lightly with a fork, then gradually draw flour into the well, mixing until shaggy.

  3. Step 3

    Knead dough 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add salt partway through. Wrap; rest 15 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Combine ricotta, Parmigiano, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a bowl until creamy.

  5. Step 5

    Roll dough thin (about 1/16 inch) between parchment. Work in batches if needed.

  6. Step 6

    Cut dough into 2-inch squares. Place 1 tsp filling on half; fold diagonally; seal edges.

  7. Step 7

    Bring salted water to boil in a large pot. Add ravioli; cook 3–4 minutes until they float plus 1 minute more.

  8. Step 8

    Warm butter and sage in a small skillet over medium heat until fragrant, ~2 minutes.

  9. Step 9

    Lift ravioli with a slotted spoon directly into the sage butter. Toss gently.

  10. Step 10

    Divide between plates. Drizzle with pan sauce and top with fresh Parmigiano. Serve immediately.
