I found this. I made this. It is good. And the recipe is poetry.
-------------------------------------------------
ITALIAN STRACCIATELLE, for 1 or 2
* 1 egg
* 2 Tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
* 2 Tablespoons soft bread crumbs or farina
* 2 cups chicken stock
* salt and white pepper to taste
Garnish: a piece of basil, parsley, or crossed chives, just for looks,
and more Parmesan on the side.
Bring the stock to simmer in a saucepan. Then, in a separate bowl, beat
the egg with a fork and continue beating as you add the cheese and bread
crumbs--and finally, a half cup of the simmering stock.
Bring the remaining stock to nearly a boil, scrape in the egg mixture,
and whisk it feelingly, even emotionally, with a fork for 3-4 minutes.
When you stop beating, let the soup come just barely to a boil--its
creaminess will then break into plump, lacy custards. Serve immediately,
with an extra sprinkling of Parmesan topped by a single piece of herb.
Sit down with it. Breathe it in deeply. Get better.
