Gregg Wallace, Monica Galetti and Marcus Wareing present as professional chefs battle to be crowned culinary superstar of 2017. It's the final heats week, as six new ambitious chefs set out to prove they have what it takes to win the coveted title. To secure their place in the competition they must face two tests - the daunting skills test and then the signature dish round. Only the three strongest chefs will make it through to the quarter-final.\n\nFirst up, the chefs face the high pressure skills test, this time set by Monica. They must create a filled pasta dish of their choice with a perfectly judged sauce to accompany it. Under the heavy scrutiny of Monica, Gregg and Marcus, the pressure can get to even the most seasoned chef. In just 20 minutes, can they showcase their talent to create an accomplished pasta dish - with the right method and resulting perfect texture and flavour? Sounds easy, but it's not for the faint hearted. \n\nNext up is the signature dish round. Having shown the judges their skills in round one, the chefs must now showcase their craft with their own personal food. It's their opportunity to show off their culinary prowess and present their own tried and tested dish for Monica, Marcus and Gregg. Presentation, technique and flavour are the name of the game - all must be achieved to the highest level in just one hour 15 minutes to secure the professionals' future in the competition.\n\nOnly the three most talented chefs will win a place in the last quarter-final round and continue in their cooking battle for the prestigious MasterChef: The Professionals title.
