Homemade Ravioli

8 eggs
2 to 3 c. flour to taste & then add as you go along
1 lb. ricotta cheese
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp. chopped parsley
2 tbsp. seasoned bread crumbs
2 tbsp. grated cheese
2 tbsp. shredded Mozzarella

RAVIOLI: In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Start adding flour and beat until the eggs have absorbed and can be handled with your hands. Remove the dough from the bowl and put on a floured surface. Knead the dough until smooth and silky (not sticky). Cut in squares with a ravioli cutter. Put a teaspoon of filling and seal with the cutter. Put ravioli on a floured piece of wax paper in single layers. Cook in boiling water (add salt and 1 tablespoon of oil). Cook until tender. Serve with tomato sauce and grated cheese.
