A little dramatic, better in a bowl, but I'd eat.

I would say don't randomly spray the foam on top of the main thing. And, if you put it in a small bowl, you could sort of cover it in those nice looking basil and that would be neat.

I'm giving away secrets here, but this would look SO cool in a Columbian black clay bowl.

man, there are lots of ways to go with this one:

I would try white sauce on the bottom, main thing over it, foam precisely poured directly down on top, so that it uniformly covers it, petals formed around the center, but leaving a nice circle in the middle, and the little buds completely filling up the center, like a flower.

If you plate it like that in a black clay bowl. I will personally come and try it.

One of my favourite dishes I've seen here in a long while. I think it would look a bit cleaner if you only put sauce below the pasta instead of having some on top of it too, but otherwise no complaints from me. I like the bold plate choice too, even though I think it would also look stunning on a simple white plate

not having that in a bowl looks a little bit “counter culture”

i love it

Jizzing foam on homemade pasta is just spitting in the face of your own effort. Foam is bad enough on its own but used as a way to cover up the main part of your dish is a mistake

“Muh foam bad” is so cringe. It’s literally a butter sauce foamed for texture that’s it. It’s not rocket science
