hey hey, here's an Italian! I made a Pizzoccheri Pasta dish the other day... perfect for winter. You must know that compared to other countries such as France or England...we are very diverse in many ways from our geology to our dialects and cuisine.
It is a gift to have such an opportunity to experience always something new and unique in each region. My region is famous for risotto's, pizzoccheri pasta, cotolette (chicken covered with bread crums), salamy, some of the most known cheese's like Gorgonzola (blue-cheese) or gran padano (which is pretty much Parmisain) and so much more... we are in the north so we have more hearty food for the winter.
Pizzoccheri Pasta is an example of a hearty dish, something a farmer or shepered would eat before a long day of physical labour, it has integral very grey pasta called Pizzoccheri, it has cabbage and potatoes, it has a mix of your local cheese...the tasty so called NOSTRANO (which means "handmade" or "homemade" even now they are industrial but still respect a certain standard and quality like a true cheese made in a farm), and to end it off lots of melted butter flavoured with garlic.
