First of all, clean all the greens and cut chard and cabbage them into strips.
Then peel and cube potatoes.



In a large pot, she brings to boil water with a generous pinch of salt.


Add cabbage, ...

... potatoes.


After 5 minutes, add spinach.


Cover the pot.


When the water starts boiling again, add pizzoccheri.


Meantime, in a pan, melt the butter together with the cloves of garlic and the sage leaves.


After 15 minutes, the pizzoccheri are ready (they have to be still firm) so drain them.


Butter a baking pan with part of the mixture you have prepare (remove garlic and sage leaves).


Cut into cubes all the cheese.


Put part of the pizzoccheri in the baking pan...
