About the Recipe: It really isn’t hard to make once you find the mozzarella curd. You simply boil the water and soften the cheese, Then enjoy the fun of stretching little pieces of curd into thin spaghetti strands or make them as thick as you like. After soaking them in heavy cream, you will have a delicious cheese that is just like the inside of a burrata cheese ball. Oh, so creamy and delicious!
