In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and crack 2 eggs into it. Add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of water. Mix with a fork until the dough begins to come together, then knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
In a medium bowl, mix pumpkin puree, Parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, nutmeg, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste. Set the filling aside while the dough rests.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and roll each piece out very thinly into rectangular sheets using a pasta machine or rolling pin.
Place small spoonfuls (about 1 teaspoon each) of the pumpkin filling on one sheet of dough, leaving about 2 inches of space between each filling mound.
Brush the edges of the dough and spaces between the filling mounds with a beaten egg to help seal the ravioli. Lay a second sheet of dough on top, pressing gently around the filling to eliminate air pockets. Use a knife or ravioli cutter to cut into individual ravioli squares. Repeat with remaining dough.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add sage leaves and cook until the butter turns golden brown and fragrant (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat.
Toss the cooked ravioli gently in the sage butter sauce until coated. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.
