Steps

  • Pulse flour and two eggs in a food processor until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Wrap the dough in film and chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
  • Feed the dough through a pasta machine gradually from the thickest to the thinnest setting.
  • Blend chicken, half the cream, truffle, and seasoning in a processor until smooth and spoonable.
  • Cut 4-5cm circles from pasta and brush with beaten egg.
  • Place a teaspoon of filling on each circle, fold into half-moons, and seal the edges.
  • Pinch the corners together to form tortellini shapes and place on greaseproof paper.
  • Sauté shallots in butter for 2 minutes, then add garlic for 1 minute.
  • Reduce white wine by half, then add stock and reduce by half again.
  • Strain the sauce through a sieve, return to a clean pan, and whisk in butter.
  • Blanch shredded kale in boiling salted water for 1 minute, drain, and sauté in butter.
  • Boil tortellini in salted water for 2-3 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Toss the drained tortellini and chives into the warm cream sauce.
  • Serve tortellini over the wilted kale and garnish with fresh truffle shavings.
