YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhen you think Italian food, pizza and pasta bolognese might come to mind. But in the Italian Alps of Livigno, Olympians and fans are crazy over Pizzoccheri. A calorie-dense dish made with buckwheat, local cheese, cabbage and potatoes, it is fueling athletes today as it has the people of the Valtellina valley for centuries.
Livigno is a remote mountain town. With access to the town difficult years ago, the long shelf-life of buckwheat made the dish both nutritious and practical year round, Marika Gurini, co-owner of Hotel Margherita, told Reuters. Chef Nenad Vukicevic says it’s the most popular dish on their restaurant’s menu. Gavino Garay gets a first-hand look at how it’s made.
