Steps

  • Pulse flour in a food processor, then add eggs and yolks until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Knead dough into a stiff ball for one minute and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Pass folded dough through a pasta machine on the widest setting seven times until shiny.
  • Roll dough through decreasing settings until reaching the thinnest thickness.
  • Boil pasta for one minute, refresh in ice water, and dry on a towel.
  • Overlap pasta sheets by 3cm on cling film to create one large sheet.
  • Cover pasta with a damp towel while preparing the filling.
  • Preheat the oven to 160°C.
  • Fry diced pork until brown, then sauté fennel, celery, carrot, garlic, parsley, and chilli.
  • Stir in olive oil, breadcrumbs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt.
  • Blend the mixture in a food processor into a smooth paste.
  • Spread the filling over the pasta, leaving edges clear, and use a rolling pin to level.
  • Roll the pasta tightly using cling film and refrigerate until firm.
  • Slice into 2-3cm pieces, flour the sides, fry until golden, then bake for two minutes.
  • Trim and finely slice chicory lengthways.
  • Fry chicory, add stock until reduced, then add cream and reduce by three-quarters.
  • Add lemon juice and salt to the creamed chicory.
  • Drain and dry the shaved fennel garnish.
  • Dress garnish with salt, lemon juice, fronds, and oil, then serve with rotolo and chicory.
