Season the beef short ribs and sear them in a hot pan until deeply coloured on all sides.

Add the chopped carrot, celery, and onion, and cook until lightly caramelised.
Add the garlic, then sprinkle in the flour and cook briefly.
Deglaze with red wine and reduce well.
Add water to cover and simmer gently until the meat is fully tender.

Remove the beef and shred it finely.
Reduce the cooking liquid to obtain a rich, glossy jus.

Mix the shredded beef with ricotta, egg yolk, parsley, parmesan (if using), and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Roll the pasta dough into thin sheets.
Place one sheet over a ravioli tray, fill evenly with the beef mixture, then cover with another sheet and seal well.

Cut into individual ravioli.
Cook the ravioli in boiling salted water for 2–3 minutes, until tender.
Finish the ravioli in a pan with a knob of butter, a splash of the reduced beef jus, and a little pasta water. Toss gently until glossy.
Arrange the ravioli on a plate, spoon over the sauce, and finish generously with grated parmesan.
