Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and olive oil. Gradually incorporate the flour into the egg mixture until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Cook the Sauce
In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chopped fresh basil before serving.

Form the Ravioli
After the dough has rested, roll it out to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into squares, approximately 3x3 inches. Place a small spoonful (about 1 tsp) of cheese filling in the center of each square. Moisten the edges with a little water and fold the dough over to create a triangle. Press the edges to seal. Repeat until all dough and filling are used.
