The Provatura is the proof; that is, it is the part that is obtained from the mass of cheese to test the quality of the spinning of the dough. Today, the Provatura is no longer in the shop: now the Romans too like mozzarella cheese and use it in its place.
This is the best recipe when you’re hungry, you have little time, andthe fridge is half empty. It is wonderful to enjoy the soft yolk together with the stringy cheese.
