Pizzoccheri

How can you knock it for regular egg noodles, but not too long. Roll out the dough on the work surface, then in a not-too-thin sheet, using the rolling pin, and cut it into strips two inches long and broad one. Peel the potatoes and cut them into small pieces; wash the cabbage leaves, drain and cut into strips. Put the vegetables to cook in a large pot with salted water. When the potatoes are cooked, throw in the pasta pot and let it boil until al dente, then drain along with vegetables. Arrange the pizzoccheri to layers in a serving dish, hot, doling out on each layer abundant Baldini cut into slices and FRY in butter, made earlier in a small saucepan with the Sage leaves. Serve the pizzoccheri very hot. ---ADVICE.
