Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meats

    Slice the prosciutto, pepperoni, salami, and capocollo into thin strips if not pre-sliced. For the meatballs, either use pre-cooked meatballs or prepare your own by mixing ground meat with spices and baking them.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cheese

    Shred or slice the mozzarella cheese into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Rinse the arugula under cold water and allow it to dry.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    If using store-bought marinara sauce, heat it in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. If making homemade, simmer tomatoes, garlic, and herbs to create your own sauce.

Assembly and Serving

  1. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    On a serving platter, layer the slices of prosciutto, pepperoni, salami, and capocollo evenly. Add the meatballs on top.

  2. 6

    Add Cheese and Greens

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the meats and then place the arugula on top for a fresh finish.

  3. 7

    Top with Sauce

    Drizzle or spoon the warmed marinara sauce over the layered meats, cheese, and arugula.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm and enjoy with a side of crusty bread or as is.
