At this point, blend with white wine, season with chili pepper and parsley and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes. In a bowl, mix clam cooking water, xanthan, ProEspuma with an immersion blender. After blending ingredients, whip in a planetary mixer, and put in a pastry bag.
TOMATO CAVIAR
In a saucepan, put tomato sauce and agar-agar and mix with an immersion blender, then heat the mixture without bringing it to a boil.
Place container in the freezer for about 30 minutes. In a bowl, put seed oil and, with the help of a syringe, a few drops of tomato sauce. When balls are cold, drain and put in cold water. Cook Taglioline verdi in plenty salted water for about 2-3 minutes, and sauté in a pan with extra virgin olive oil. Place a nest of Taglioline verdi in the plate with tomato caviar in the centre and decorate with some clams, fresh chili pepper and clam water mayonnaise.
