8 Crespelle with ricotta and chard
50 g butter
400 g yellow datterino tomatoes
1 clove of garlic
100 g EVO oil
2 bunches of fresh basil
½ clove of garlic
10 g pine nuts
10 g parsley
250 ml fresh cream

Nutmeg to taste
Procedure
Wash and cut date tomatoes. In a pan, heat oil and sauté garlic, add tomatoes and cook for about 10 minutes. Sieve through a vegetable mill and keep warm. Clean and wash basil.
Wash and chop the yellow datterino tomatoes. In a pan, heat the oil and sauté the garlic, then add the tomatoes and cook for about 10 minutes. Pass through a vegetable mill and keep warm. Clean the basil and wash it. Blanch for a few seconds in boiling water, drain, and immediately cool in ice water. Squeeze well and emulsify with the remaining ingredients using an immersion blender. Heat the cream to 80 °C and add the cheese until a smooth and homogeneous mixture is obtained. Keep the Parmesan fondue warm.
Arrange the Crespelle with ricotta and chard in a baking dish, add the butter, and bake in the oven at 180 °C. Place the fondue on the bottom of the plate, add the yellow datterino sauce, and lay the Crespelle with ricotta and chard on top. Garnish with pesto and serve.
