Where can I buy pizzoccheri (buckwheat noodles) in England!?
I'm trying to make my favourite Italian dish but cannot find any pizzoccheri anywhere. Does anyone know? I've tried the major supermarkets but so far had no luck.

Update:
Pizzoccheri is from the Valtellina area of northern Italy. My father originates from the area. Unfortunatley I only manage to get my fill of pizzoccheri once a year. It was once considered a ‘piatto povero’ or poor-man’s dish because of it’s basic ingredients. It's an extremely heavy dish and one dish will keep you full for a day (or two). It really is the ultimate comfort food and is really tasty.
Ingredients include
Pizzoccheri pasta
Savoy cabbage, potato, Fontina or Bitto cheese,Parmesan cheese, tons of butter!, sage and garlic
Thanks for all your answers and i have managed to find some rather cheaply online!! £1.45 for 500g

My Notes 2: if you type "italian delis" into Google followed by the name of your town/city, you should find something near where you live. Give them a buzz and see if they've got what you're looking for.
