In a heavy saute pan, add chicken stock, chopped sage, and butter.

Step 3
~2 min

Boil until mixture emulsifies.

Step 4
~2 min

Season with salt and pepper.

Step 5
~2 min

Cook the agnolotti in the water until al dente, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 6
~2 min

Remove with a slotted spoon and toss gently in the sage butter.

Step 7
~2 min

Serve in soup plates and shave white truffles on top.

Step 8
~2 min

To take advantage of the wonderful truffle aroma, cover each individual bowl of agnolotti with another plate.

Step 9
~2 min

When brought to the table, remove the top plate so that the truffle aroma escapes just as the guest takes the first bite.

Step 10
~2 min

In a medium saute pan, bring the cream to a boil.

Step 11
~2 min

Reduce until only 1/3 cup remains.

Step 12
~2 min

Stir in the grated corn, salt, pepper and sugar.

Step 13
~2 min

Bring the mixture to a slow boil, stirring constantly.

Step 14
~2 min

Continue to cook until the mixture reduces and thickly coats the back of a spoon.

Step 15
~2 min

Transfer mixture to a medium bowl.

Step 16
~2 min

Stir in the cheeses and thyme and mix until well blended.

Step 17
~2 min

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Step 18
~2 min

Place bowl over ice bath to allow filling to set.

Step 19
~2 min

Make the agnolotti: Roll out the dough very thin.

Step 20
~2 min

Brush with eggwash.

Step 21
~2 min

Mound little heaps of filling about 1-inch apart.

Step 22
~2 min

Fold over and squeeze dough together in between filling mounds.

Step 23
~2 min

With a serrated pasta cutter, cut agnolotti.

Step 24
~2 min

Cut away excess dough lengthwise; there should be no more than 1/4-inch around the edges.

Step 25
~2 min

In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine the flour, egg yolks, salt, olive oil, and 2 tablespoons of the water.

Step 26
~2 min

Process until the dough begins to hold together, then stop the machine and pinch the dough to test it.

Step 27
~2 min

If it's too dry, add up to 1 more tablespoon of water and process until it forms a moist ball.

Step 28
~2 min

Turn out onto a lightly floured smooth work surface and knead by hand, until a smooth ball is formed.

Step 29
~2 min

Loosely wrap in plastic and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 30
~2 min

Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces.

Step 31
~2 min

Keep the other pieces covered in plastic while you roll out one piece at a time, by hand with a rolling pin or through the rollers of a pasta machine, stretching the dough to the desired thickness.

Step 32
~2 min

If using a pasta machine, set the rollers at the widest opening.

Step 33
~2 min

Flatten the first piece of dough into a thick strip no wider than the machine, to enable it to pass through the rollers.

Step 34
~2 min

If necessary, dust the pasta very lightly with flour.

Step 35
~2 min

Run the pasta through the machine.

Step 36
~2 min

Fold in thirds, crosswise, and run through the machine again.

Step 37
~2 min

Repeat this procedure 2 more times, until the dough is smooth and somewhat elastic.

Step 38
~2 min

Set the machine to the next smaller opening and run the dough through the rollers.

Step 39
~2 min

Continue rolling and stretching the dough, using the smaller opening each time, until the next to the last or the last opening is reached, dusting lightly with flour only as necessary.

Pro Tips & Suggestions
