Roll out the dough using a pasta rolling machine.

In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, salt, black pepper, grated nutmeg, and parmesan cheese until well mixed.

Spoon small amounts of filling onto the pasta sheets, spacing them evenly.

Fold the dough over the filling and press to seal, ensuring no air pockets remain.

Cut the ravioli into desired shapes using a knife or ravioli cutter.
