Rocket Pizza
My favorite raw food of the moment in Italy is the leafy herb rughetta - better known in the U.S. as arugula. Despite both of the words arugula and rughetta being of Italian origin, the British call it "rocket" (which in turn is how it is translated on English menus here). So, in line with the Brits, my favorite thing to eat for lunch is "rocket pizza" (at left). If you want to make it at home, start with a prebaked pizza crust and layer the red sauce of your choice, rughetta, fresh tomatoes and lastly, some mozzarella di bufala (pdo). Splash on a little extra virgin olive oil and some salt and enjoy! Delizioso!
