Stracciatella di Bufala with Arugula
This isn’t a real recipe, but it is one of my favorite things to eat. Stracciatella is the word for shredded mozzarella (although it is also the word for a Roman egg-drop soup, Stracciatella alla Romana). The stracciatella that I love is mozzarella di bufala, shredded and frayed into thin threads, making stracciatella. It is served with arugula (and sometimes speck as well).
