Serving suggestions
Serve piping hot.
Pizzoccheri pairs well with a full bodied local red wine: Valtellina Superiore
Variations
- If you do not find Valtellina Casera cheese, you can try with Bitto, Fontina, Cheddar or all Parmigiano Reggiano cheese instead
- If you do not want to make the pasta, you can buy it already made
- When you fry the garlic you can add sage as well
- Make sure to have a little bit of cheese left for the last layer and put it in a hot (~200 °C) oven for 5 minutes before serving
