Three-Cheese Heart Ravioli
  1. 1

    Make the dough: Put the flour in a large bowl and create a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well; gently beat the eggs with a fork until combined, then use the fork to slowly pull flour in from the sides. Mix until all the flour is incorporated.

  2. 2

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 3 to 4 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make the filling and egg wash: In a bowl, mix the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan. In another bowl, whisk the water and egg together.

  4. 4

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

  5. 5

    While the water heats, prepare the ravioli: Lightly flour the work surface again. Roll the dough into a thin sheet; cut out shapes with a heart-shaped cookie cutter. Brush the edges of each heart with the egg wash. Spoon filling into the center of half of the hearts. Place the remaining hearts, egg wash-side down, over the filling; press the edges together to seal.

  6. 6

    Working in several batches, cook the ravioli in the boiling water until they float to the top, 1 to 2 minutes, then cook for 3 to 4 minutes more. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a colander.
