PASTICCIO DI PIZZOCHERI Pizzocheri with Cabbage and Cheese

Mail this recipe to a friend!	Pizzoccheri, a typical product of Valtellina, a mountain area in Northern Italy, are cut into strips very much like tagliataelle, but made with buckwhheat flour which gives it a very distinctive flavor. Because of the richness of the dressing - a mix of patatoes, cheese, butter and cabbage - pasticcio di pizzoccheri is a typical winter dish. Local cheese specialties such as Toma or Bitto are traditional dressing, but can be replaced with Parmigiano. 1/2 lb. potatoes, peeled and cubed 1 lb. cabbage 1 lb. pizzoccheri 10 oz. fresh cheese (Toma, Bitto or Parmigiano) fresh sage 5 oz. grated Parmigiano 1/2 lb. butter 4 cloves garlic pepper	See Also:      Pasta      Fresh Pasta: Pizzoccheri      Cheeses      Bitto DOP      Grana Padano DOP      Parmigiano Reggiano® DOP      Stelvio DOP      Toma Piemontese DOP      Wine Pairings      Gabiano DOC      San Colombano al Lambro DOC      Valtellina Rosso or Rosso di Valtellina DOC      Region      Lombardy
