The name, meaning 'telephone wires', refers to the gooey mozzarella that stretches when bitten into. Traditionally made with leftover risotto, these rice balls are a testament to Italian culinary ingenuity, transforming simple ingredients into a delightful treat. Today, they are enjoyed in various forms across Italy and beyond, often featuring different fillings and sauces.
