Bosco Pasta Secca
Bosco's dry pasta from Valtellina: buckwheat pizzoccheri (including PGI), gnocchetti, egg and flavoured tagliatelle, and lasagne sheets.
Bosco Pasta Secca is the dry pasta line of Bosco Pastificio in Valdisotto, Valtellina. Most of it is made by rolling the dough in successive layers into a rough, porous sheet, which is then cut and dried slowly in static cells.
Buckwheat is the core of the line: pizzoccheri in skeins (500 g), in nests (250 g) and in short strips dried at low temperature for up to 40 hours (500 g), Pizzoccheri della Valtellina PGI (500 g), Pizzoccheri di Bormio cut into strips of about 7 cm (360 g) and gnocchetti with buckwheat (500 g). They are made from durum wheat semolina and wholegrain buckwheat flour (25–26%).
The line also has 250 g nests of tagliatelle: with egg (26%), with chestnut flour (12%), apples (18%), blueberries (15%) or porcini (6%), plus egg pasta sheets for lasagne and rustic lasagne sheets with buckwheat flour (11%), both 500 g.
Pizzoccheri are boiled with potatoes and chard or cabbage and dressed with butter, garlic, sage and cheese; the flavoured tagliatelle go with mushrooms, speck or a walnut and sage sauce.
