Quite tempting, but how can Black create threats after Ra7?

To block out counterplay, maybe e6 first, and if then Bxe6, we play Ra7 with Re7 coming in response to Qe8, appearing to pick up the bishop. If Qg6 then Rxe6, Qb1+, Kf2, Qxb2+ and Re2 ends the threats. If then Rf8+, Qxf8+, Kxf8, and Rxb2 with a winning advantage in material...
Ra6, Be7, e6, Qc7, Ra7, Qd8, Nf5 ??

Ahh. I got it!
e6, Bxe6, Ra7
This is a position that came from an Open Ruy Lopez, and it's a dream position for White. How would you play white?
