Massimiliano Alajmo's recipe: Mezzo Bergese with white truffle
For the stuffing
- 400 g buffalo ricotta cheese dried with a sheet of food paper
- 100 g chicory boiled, blended and dried
- 70 g grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
- 1 ground Sarawak black pepper
Procedure
Process the ingredients in a beater with a leaf beater at medium speed until a smooth filling is obtained.
Transfer the filling to a pastry bag with a plain nozzle.
For the carrot juice
- 200 g of carrot centrifuge
Procedure
Slowly reduce the centrifuge on the stove to 110 g.
To finish
- 4 discs of fresh durum wheat pasta
- 40 g hot melted butter
- 15 g grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
- 1 g white truffle pate
- 20 g fresh white truffle shavings (optional)
Dish composition
Roll the pasta sheet very thinly until it is the thickness of a sheet of paper and reaches a diameter of 16 cm (the weight of the pasta sheets is 8 grams).
Lay an oiled steel hinged mold with a diameter of 8 cm on a flat plate. Spread a spiral of filling on the bottom and then from bottom to top dress circles as if to form a vol-au-vent. The total weight of the filling for each dish should be 120 grams.
Pour 20 grams of carrot centrifuge in the center of the filling, slide out the circular mold and lay the wheat pasta sheet so that the filling is completely covered. Brush the edges of the dough with cold water to seal them perfectly on the dish. Sprinkle the resulting raviolo with a little melted butter and sprinkle with Parmigiano. Grate the dish salamander style and serve with melted butter mixed with white truffle pate. Garnish with truffle shavings.
