Filippini Pizzoccheri A Nido Pasta is a traditional Northern Italian pasta made with a blend of durum wheat semolina and buckwheat flour, known for its high protein and fiber content. This flat, short pasta is characterized by a unique "nest" shape and is a central ingredient in the hearty Valtellina dish of pizzoccheri, which features potatoes, savoy cabbage, mountain butter, and local cheeses like Casera.
