Regional Italian Cuisine: Discover Lombardy

Risotto is considered one of the most typical first courses in Lombardy and in particular the Risotto alla Milanese. Saffron gives this dish its signature golden color and comes from the former practice of adding gold leaf to the rice. Throughout northern Italy, risotto is traditionally made with butter and other local ingredients like mushrooms, sausage, frogs and pumpkin. Rice is also used in soups and vegetable minestrone.

Polenta is considered as important an ingredient as rice, especially in the mountains parts of the region.
It is served with cheese, small birds, and butter, of course.

In Valtellina, you will find Pizzoccheri, a type of homemade, tagliatelle-like pasta, made from buckwheat flour and served with boiled vegetables and Bitto, a locally produced mixed cow and sheep’s milk cheese. Whereas in Mantua, you will be served tortelli di zucca, ravioli-like pasta stuffed with rich, sweet pumpkin.
