Valtellina is famous for the deliciousness of its typical dishes, especially the sciatt and pizzoccheri alla valtellinese, but not everyone knows an equally tasty variant of the latter: the white pizzoccheri from Valtellina! A traditional recipe proposed for us by chef Gianni Tarabini that differs from the classic version both durante ingredients and preparation: durante this case, the pizzoccheri, similar to dumplings, are not made with buckwheat but with a rather soft dough made of bread, milk, and flour that is shaped with a spoon. Con the seasoning, we still find potatoes, butter, and cheese, but cabbage is not present. So don’t hesitate, for those who wish to delve deeper into the flavors of the Lombard Alps, the white pizzoccheri from Valtellina are a must-try!
