Easy
  1. For the pizzoccheri: mix the two flours, adding water to the bowl and knead. Wrap the dough in cling film and leave to stand for 30 minutes.

  2. Stretch the puff pastry out with a rolling pin, cut strips (2-3 mm thick and 7-8 cm wide) and spread one over another, with a sprinkle of flour so they do not stick. Cut the strips (roughly 5 mm wide) and leave them to stand.

  3. For the dressing: clean the Swiss chard by tearing off the stem and cut the peeled potatoes into small pieces.

  4. Boil the vegetables on the hob for 5 minutes, then mix them with the pizzoccheri.

  5. After cooking for 10 minutes, drain and lay them on a hot baking tray, alternating the strips of grated Grana and the flakes of Valtellina Casera DOP.

  6. Melt the butter with the garlic and pour it over the pizzoccheri, adding a pinch of pepper.
