9. On a clean work surface, mound flour and form a well in the centre. Add eggs, oil and pinch salt to the well.
   
10. Using a fork, gently break up yolks and slowly incorporate flour from inside rim of well.
    
11. Continue until liquid is absorbed, then knead with the palm of your hands until smooth.
    
12. Wrap dough tightly in plastic and let rest for 30 minutes in the fridge.
    
13. Roll pasta through machine, decreasing the setting, one notch at a time (do not fold or turn pasta) until pasta is smooth, thin and approximately 37 inches in length.
    
14. Dust pasta sheet with flour and transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Repeat with remaining dough.
    
15. Take one pasta sheet and place the filling in leaving one finger between each filling and one finger along the edges.
    
16. Brush the pasta with egg white to hold the dough together. Cover the dough over with another pasta sheet and make edges meet.
    
17. Begin on one end pressing firmly with fingers in the middle then work to the edges in order to assure there is no air left inside the pasta.
    
18. Do the same with the other two sheets. Use a pasta cutter to cut the ravioli.
