fresh pasta ripiena
Form a circle with the flour.
Add the egg yolks, whole eggs, salt and olive oil.
Knead for around 10 minutes until you obtain a firm and smooth dough.
Leave to rest in the fridge for 2 hours.
Wrap in plastic film, place inside a vacuum bag and vacuum seal.
Freeze until required.
aligot filling
Cook the potatoes in the oven at 180°C with coarse salt until fully cooked.
Mash them and pass through a sieve.
Melt the crème fraîche and butter together.
Place the mashed potatoes into a blender and slowly add the melted crème fraîche and butter until homogeneous.
Cut the Taleggio into cubes.
Add the Taleggio piece by piece until fully incorporated.
Season with salt and toasted black pepper.
fish stock
Sweat the onions, leeks, celery and fennel in 100g of the butter in a stainless-steel pan until soft, without allowing them to colour.
Bring the white wine to the boil and reduce by half.
Sweat the fish bones in a stainless-steel pan in the remaining 100g butter for 2 minutes, without colour.

vin jaune sauce
Bring the fish stock, vegetable stock and vin jaune reduction to 60–70°C.
Add a small quantity of XG base, followed by the miso.
