1

Create a well with 2 cups of double zero flour and add a pinch of salt.

2

Add 3 eggs into the well and mix gently to combine.

3

Incorporate a little olive oil to give the pasta a shimmer and elasticity.

4

Knead the dough gently for about 5-10 minutes until it comes together and is smooth.

5

If using a food processor, add 2 cups of flour, a pinch of salt, and 3 eggs, then pulse until sandy.

6

Add a little olive oil and pulse again until the dough starts to stick together.

7

Roll out the dough using a hand-cranking roller or a pasta machine, folding it over once or twice for texture.

8

Roll the pasta to about a thickness of 6 on the machine, allowing it to bounce back as needed.

9

Cut the pasta into sheets and let it air dry slightly before cutting to ensure sharp edges.

10

Prepare the filling by mixing 6 packages of robiola cheese, half a cup of grated parmesan, chopped parsley, an egg, salt, pepper, and a grating of nutmeg.

11

Fill the pasta sheets with dollops of the filling, using a pastry bag or spoon.

12

Spray the edges of the pasta with water to help seal the ravioli.
