      Recipe:

      For Caramelised onion:
      3 white onions
      25g salted butter

      Remove the top and root of the onion and cut in half

      Slice as thin as you can and place in a hot pan with a little bit of oil and the butter

      Slowly cook the onions until soft and caramelised, this will take around 40 minutes to reach the desired colour

      For Pasta:

      200g Type 00 Flour
      200g Fine Semolina
      Olive Oil
      Salt
      20 Egg Yolks

      Mix the flour and semolina and salt mix together

      Add your oil and egg yolks and using the stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix until the dough as come together

      Knead on your counter until smooth, takes around 10 minutes

      Then clingfilm and leave to rest in the fridge for 2-3hrs

      Once rested, cut the ball in half and using a rolling pin roll the dough out till it’s around 1cm thick

      Then on the pasta machine, on the lowest number (0) pass the dough through using the lever

      Keep going until you reach level 5

      Then once you’re at this point, using the Tagliatelle/Linguine attachment, again run your dough through it to make the pasta shape you want

      I like to then leave the pasta to dry out for a couple of hours before cooking

      For Pasta Sauce:

      2 Egg Yolks
      1.5 tbsp Grated Parmesan
      Mix ingredients together and set aside

      For Chicken:

      Remove the breast from the chicken carcass and place inside the airfryer

      Then cook at 180° for 15minutes to ensure the skin is crispy and the chicken is cooked through

      To serve:

      Place the pasta into boiling water for 30-45 seconds, then drain and place into the sauce and mix

      Using a carving fork, place the pasta on the fork and twirl the fork until the pasta forms a long meat cylinder shape

      Add the onions on top and the crumbles feta cheese

      Finish with micro herbs if you have them
