1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the ground beef, chopped onion and minced garlic, breaking up the beef, until no pink remains and the beef reaches 160°F (71°C), about 8 minutes. Drain off the fat and let cool.

2. In a bowl, mix the cooled beef mixture with the ricotta, Parmesan, parsley and egg. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.

3. Lay out the wonton wrappers. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of half the wrappers. Brush the edges of each with beaten egg yolk.

4. Top each filled wrapper with a second wrapper. Press out any air and seal the edges firmly, then crimp with a fork.

5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook the ravioli in batches for 3 to 4 minutes, until the wrappers are tender and the filling reaches 165°F (74°C).

6. Lift the ravioli out with a slotted spoon and serve.
