About Pizzoccheri

Pizzoccheri is a traditional Italian pasta dish from the Alpine region of Lombardy, specifically the Valtellina valley. It features wide buckwheat pasta mixed with all-purpose flour, offering a nutty flavor and making it a source of essential minerals and fiber. The dish is typically prepared with earthy ingredients like potatoes, cabbage, Swiss chard, and enriched with layers of creamy melted cheese such as Bitto or Fontina. It’s tossed with sage-infused brown butter and garlic for a rich, aromatic profile. While Pizzoccheri contains nutrient-packed vegetables and the benefits of buckwheat, it is a calorie-dense option due to the cheese and butter content. Moderation is key for anyone looking to enjoy this hearty, comforting meal while maintaining a balanced diet. A popular dish in cold weather, it reflects the robust culinary traditions of northern Italian mountain cuisine.
