  In a skillet, melt butter. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add crumbled sausage to the skillet, and cook over medium heat until the sausage becomes brown. Drain the fat from the skillet. Move the sausage to a bowl, stir in 1 egg, salt, pepper, and ricotta cheese.

  Cut the dough into pieces and roll it into a thin 1/8 inch sheet. Cut an even number of circles from dough. Place a spoonful of the filling at the center of half of the circles. Slightly moisten the edges of the circles with water and cover each portion with filling using a separate circle. Set the ravioli aside on a surface that has been dusted with flour.
