Marinated Pumpkin :
Finely slice the pumpkin by hand or using a mandoline slicer. Marinate with extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, rosemary, and thyme. Set aside to absorb the flavors.
Basil Pesto:
Using a mortar and pestle, crush a small clove of garlic with a pinch of sea salt. Add almonds and continue to grind until roughly combined. Finally, incorporate fresh basil leaves and drizzle in extra virgin olive oil until you achieve a smooth, fragrant pesto.
Plating:
Thinly slice the Bigonda Caciotta and fresh prunes by hand or with a slicer.
On a serving plate, alternate layers of marinated pumpkin, prunes, and Caciotta in a circular pattern. Spoon the basil pesto into the center.
