Make pasta dough by creating a well with flour and adding whole eggs into the center.

Scramble the eggs with a fork and gradually mix in flour until it forms a thick batter.

Switch to a bench scraper to incorporate the remaining flour until a shaggy dough forms.

Knead the dough with hands until it forms a rough ball, about 3 minutes.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

Knead the dough again for about 4 minutes, incorporating air by poking it with fingers.

Wrap the dough tightly in plastic and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.

Prepare the cheese filling by mixing ricotta, parmesan, egg yolk, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and cayenne until well combined.

Refrigerate the filling until ready to use.

Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface into a thin sheet, about see-through thickness.

Trim the edges of the dough to create a rectangle and cut it into two strips.

Pipe a rope of filling along one edge of the dough, about 2 inches from the edge.

Mist the dough with water to help it stick.

Fold the dough over the filling carefully, avoiding air pockets.

Press down firmly along the seam to seal the edges.

Pinch the dough every inch along the seam to ensure a tight seal.
