📝 DIRECTIONS
- Preparation of the zucchini cream:
Cut some of the zucchini into rounds and some into cubes. Toss the zucchini rounds in a pan with BIS Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Basil until they become crispy. This oil gives the dish a unique and aromatic flavour. In a separate pan, cook the diced zucchini in the same way, taking care not to let them become crispy. Pour the cooked diced zucchini, a little pepper and the Parmesan cheese into a blender and blend everything together. - Preparation of the capocollo:
Cut the capocollo into thin cubes and brown it in a pan over low heat. - Cooking the Chifferini BIS:
Cook the Chifferini BIS in plenty of salted water. Drain them al dente, directly into a bowl. - Assemble the dish:
Add the zucchini cream to the bowl and mix. Serve with a generous portion of Chifferini, garnished with the capocollo, crispy zucchini slices, flakes of burrata and a few leaves of fresh basil.
