• Make the ravioli filling
• Put the cheeses, salt, and pepper in a blender and pulse. Add the egg yolks and pulse until incorporated.
• Make the ravioli

Brush a little egg white around each dollop, then place another sheet directly on top. Gently press around the filling to remove any air pockets and seal the sheets. Using a ravioli cutter or a knife, cut out ravioli squares. Sprinkle with flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
