The setting combines culinary art and stonework. It features a Belvedere granite worktop on a bold Black & Gold granite block. These materials show the beauty and strength our clients want from stoneCIRCLE. They are also great surfaces for preparing and presenting food.

The smell of truffle and parmesan fills the air. Our directors, Jeff and Steve Vanhinsbergh, talk with Lorenzo and Donna. Watch our video, where they remember the beginnings of stoneCIRCLE and share stories about their long relationship with Italian stone suppliers, an important part of our company’s heritage.

This episode highlights the precision and elegance of our stone craftsmanship and brings the series to a heartfelt close. During CookBook Stories, we have had the honour of hosting famous chefs in our factory's stone yard. They showcased their cooking skills with our beautiful stonework as the backdrop.

Make sure to watch the full episode, as it includes the recipe video. It celebrates the blend of craftsmanship, food, and community.

Homemade Spaghettoni with Black Truffle and Aged Parmesan

by Chef Lorenzo Salami

Serves: 4

Preparation: 2 hours

Cooking: 10 minutes

ingredients

For the pasta

  • 275g pasta flour

  • 180g egg yolk

  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 5g salt

For the sauce

  • 160g double cream 

  • 25g butter 

  • 120g finely grated aged parmesan 

  • 50g black truffle paste 

  • Fresh black truffle 

preparation

Mix all the pasta ingredients by hand or in a food processor. Then, wrap the dough tightly in clingfilm. Let it rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour before using.

Roll the pasta dough into 3mm thick strips using a pasta machine. Cut the spaghetti using the appropriate attachment or by hand with a knife.

Heat the cream with the butter, finely grated parmesan, and truffle paste until the cheese has melted.

Cook the pasta in salted boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain it and add it to the sauce. Let it heat on medium for an extra minute to make a perfect emulsion. At this stage, add a little bit of the cooking water if the sauce becomes too thick.

Arrange on the plate, creating a little nest, and finish with fresh black truffle slices.
