Recipe for Pasta Cocoon with AOP Cheese

Preheat the oven to 210°C. Submerge the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water for the time indicated on the package (about 8 minutes).

When they are cooked al dente, drain them. Wrap a small amount around a fork and place these nests in the cavities of a silicone muffin pan. Peel and crush the garlic clove. Mix with olive oil and 2-3 chopped basil leaves. Drizzle over the pasta, then bake for 10 minutes.

In the meantime, peel and slice the onion. Cook it down in a pot with a little olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and 100ml of water. After about ten minutes, remove from heat and let it cool.

Remove the nests from the oven and place them on a serving dish. Once slightly cooled, fill them with onion compote. Garnish with strips of ham, pine nuts, and a basil leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Finish by placing some nice shavings on top. Serve immediately.

To finish, the Goat Trick: Delicious also with a fig compote, replacing the red onion with dried figs.
