FOR THE CRYSTALLIZED BASIL
Fry basil for 3” in seed oil at 180 degrees.
FOR THE SPUMP.
Salt and pepper the burrata, blend it very well, add the cream, mix without whipping, and strain directly into the siphon. Charge with a canister and let stand in the refrigerator 10′.
PEARL TOMATO SAUCE
Brown the chopped onion together with garlic and basil in EVO oil. Add the passata, water, concentrate, salt, sugar, and pepper. Cook at least 1 hour.

On the bottom of the plate, place the piping hot tomato sauce, lay the gnocchi piastra ti, siphon the burrata mousse, and top with the crushed organic Matt Farro Crackerini, crystallized basil, and edible flowers.
