Method
Celeriac and truffle puree
Dice the celeriac and sweat down in the butter. When fully cooked add the truffle and truffle oil. Season with salt. Blend in Thermomix until smooth and then pass through a fine sieve.
Chestnut pasta dough
Blend all the ingredients in a Thermomix until it resembles couscous. Remove from the blender and push together to form a dough, knead until smooth. Cling film and chill until needed.
Truffle broth
Sweat down the garlic and shallots in a little vegetable oil. Add defrosted ceps to pan and caramelise until golden. Add all the other ingredients to the pan and cook for 30-40 minutes whilst continually tasting and adjusting seasoning.
Celeriac filling
Peel and dice the celeriac and sweat off in the butter in a pan. When completely soft add to the Thermomix and blend with the chestnuts and the grated Old Winchester. Season with salt and allow to cool before placing into a piping bag.
Cured egg yolk
Mix the salt and sugar and add good quality yolks. Leave in the fridge for 4-5 days. Heavily smoke and then dehydrate until required.
In the bottom of the bowl pipe the celeriac puree. Cook agnolotti until pasta is al dente and place on top of the puree. Micro plane generous amounts of the chestnut, old Winchester, smoked yolk and finally the black truffle over the pasta.
Warm the broth and pour table side.
