Pizzoccheri Pasta with Cabbage, Potatoes and Fontina Cheese
Report
Pizzoccheri alla Valtellina is a hearty and comforting pasta dish from the valley of Valtellina, Lombardy. It's made of buckwheat pasta (called Pizzoccheri), cabbage and potatoes mixed with fontina cheese and garlic butter. This quick and easy recipe is the perfect comfort for those frosty days!

Ingredients
- 10.5 oz pizzoccheri pasta (300g)
- 3 medium potatoes (430g)
- 4 cup cabbage roughly chopped (300g/10 oz)
- 1 cup fontina cheese cut into cubes (150g) can also use gruyere
- 9 tablespoons unsalted butter (125g)
- 2 cloves garlic
- salt and pepper , to season
Instructions
Prepartion
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a generous amount of salt. Peel and chop the potatoes into medium-sized cubes and roughly chop the cabbage. Cut the cheese into small cubes and finely chop or crush the garlic.
How to make pizzoccheri
- Add the potatoes to the boiling water and boil for 2-3 minutes. Add the cabbage and pasta to the pot and boil for another 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the garlic and butter to a small pan and fry the garlic in the melted butter for 1-2 minutes, don't let it brown, set aside.
- Drain the pasta and vegetables then add it back into the pot. Add the cheese and melted butter and mix it all together until the cheese has melted and the garlic butter has coated everything, Season with an extra pinch of salt and pepper and serve hot.
Notes
- Add the cheese and butter straight away - as soon as the Pizzoccheri pasta and vegetables have been drained, add them back to the pot and add the cheese and garlic butter straight away so the cheese melts.
- Best served immediately - because of the melting cheese this recipe is best served as soon as it's made so I don't recommend preparing it in advance or storing leftovers.
