Boil the purple potatoes, peel and sieve them and dress with oil and salt. Spread the mixture on a sheet of Silpat, creating various sized rounds. Then freeze. Once frozen, remove the shapes from the Silpat and set to one side.

Gently fry the chopped garlic with a drizzle of oil, add the tomatoes cut into 4, salt, cook for 5 minutes and pass through a vegetable grinder. Gently fry the onion cut into julienne strips, add the yellow potatoes, the tomato sauce and cook, gradually adding the water. Blend and sieve.
Reduce the cream by half, add the provola and the grated cheese and blend.

Scald the tomato, remove the seeds and cut it into 1 cm squares. Do the same with the grilled cuttlefish and the fried bacon. Boil the white potatoes, blend with oil, salt, chicken stock and cream, place the mixture in a siphon and charge the gas. Keep warm.

Cook the pasta in salted boiling water, paying attention to the cooking time of the various types of pasta. Once cooked, toss the pasta in the bacon cooking juices.
