- Pike in sauce with polenta
Pike is a typical fish of our lake, very delicate, and it is perfect if combined with polenta and this tasty sauce made with anchovies, capers, a few drops of vinegar, parsley and bay leaf. Absolutely to try. - Bigoli with sardines
Bigoli are a particular fresh pasta made with the press to make the surface more rough. So it's perfect to catch the sauce made with lake sardines. - Tortellini di Valeggio (the love knot)
If you go down the Mincio river, you arrive in Borghetto and Valeggio, home of the tortellini or love knots for their characteristic knot shape. They are made with a very thin fresh pasta and various filleds. Some Valeggio restaurants also offer them fried, delicious! - Sardines in Saòr
This recipe is very old. We find its origins in the tradition of the sailors and the first fishermen who, staying outside for a long time, found a rustic way of preserving the fish by exploiting a bittersweet seasoning, the Saòr. - Risotto with Tastasàl
The taste is a dough that our grandparents and great-grandparents use to check the flavor and the degree of seasoning of the cured meats, which then reused a tasty risotto for tariff.
