Prepare a light bechamel sauce with the hot milk and  the white Roux, season with salt and pepper and add a pinch of nutmeg. Drain the Èbaccala and in a bowl mix it in with the béchamel to obtain a smooth cream. Add a little mint and chopped parsley. Put the mixture in a piping bag and use it to fill in the paccheri pasta. Gratin  in the oven at 200 ° C for about 4-5 minutes.

In a colander drain the Pomodorina sauce to eliminate the water in excess , then with the help of a immersion blender make a smooth and homogeneous sauce.

Season the clams with oil and parsley.

Decorate with a few capers around the plate and garnish with the squid ink wafers,some sprouts and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
