Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh sage, finely chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried sage)
  • Salt to taste
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 10–12 fresh sage leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Extra grated Parmesan for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the Dough: On a clean surface, mound the flour and create a well in the center. Crack in the eggs, add olive oil and salt. Using a fork, gently whisk the eggs, gradually incorporating flour from the edges until a shaggy dough forms. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, mozzarella, chopped sage, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently until creamy and well-blended. Set aside.
  3. Roll Out the Dough: Divide the rested dough into two equal portions. Using a pasta machine or rolling pin, roll out one portion into a thin sheet about 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) thick. Dust with flour to prevent sticking.
  4. Assemble the Ravioli: Place small teaspoon-sized dollops of filling evenly spaced on the dough sheet, about 1 inch apart. Lightly brush around the filling with water. Carefully lay the second dough sheet over the top. Press around each mound to seal, ensuring no air pockets remain. Use a ravioli cutter or sharp knife to cut into individual ravioli squares.
  5. Cook the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Add ravioli in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface and are tender. Use a slotted spoon to remove them carefully.
  6. Make the Brown Butter Sage Sauce: While ravioli cooks, melt butter over medium heat in a skillet. Continue cooking until butter turns golden brown and smells nutty (about 3-5 minutes). Add fresh sage leaves and cook for another minute until crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Serve: Toss cooked ravioli gently in the brown butter sage sauce. Plate and garnish with extra grated Parmesan. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Keep a close eye on the butter when making brown butter sauce to avoid burning. Flour your surface and rolling pin frequently to prevent dough sticking. Use water to seal ravioli edges to prevent bursting. Cook ravioli in batches to avoid overcrowding. For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, substitute flour and ricotta accordingly.
