Method

  • Begin with the pasta dough. Mix the semolina, 00 flour, egg yolk, egg white and sea salt until a dough forms.

  • Transfer to a bowl and mix with the smoked haddock, crab meat, parmesan, lemon juice and cracked black pepper.
  • Spoon or pipe the filling into a piping bag and chill.
  • Divide the pasta dough into portions, keeping unused dough covered.
  • Roll through a pasta machine, reducing the thickness gradually until thin sheets are achieved.
  • Cut into rounds. Pipe filling into the centre of half the rounds.
  • Top with another pasta round, pressing out any trapped air and sealing the edges well.
  • Place onto a tray dusted with semolina or flour.
  • Blanch the asparagus and peas in salted boiling water for 1 minute, then refresh in iced water.
  • Heat the olive oil in a pan and gently cook the onion and garlic with a pinch of sea salt.
  • Add the anchovy, fish stock and double cream. Simmer for 5–6 minutes.
  • Transfer to a blender with the parsley and rocket, then blend until smooth.
  • Pass through a sieve and season with lemon juice and sea salt to taste.
  • Cook the raviolo in salted boiling water for 4–5 minutes, then drain carefully.
  • Warm the spring vegetables gently in butter.
  • Spoon the sauce into bowls, top with the raviolo and arrange the vegetables around.
  • Finish with olive oil and pea shoots before serving.
