  5. Cut the cheese finely and the butter in chunks;
  6. Drain the pizzoccheri;
  7. Add in a serving bowl the cheese, pepper, garlic, and butter to pizzoccheri, stirring and letting the cheese melt;

Tip: the right cheese for this recipe is Valtellina Casera DOP, you should use a similar cheese.

Tip: other vegetables, like cabbage or savoy cabbage can be used as well. Frozen vegetables should be put in the boiling water 1-2 minutes before to let them unfreeze.
