   • In a small saucepan, pour in the fresh cream and heat over medium heat until it reaches a boil.
   • While the cream is heating, cut the Scimudin cheese into small cubes.
   • Once the cream starts to boil, turn off the heat and allow it to cool for about 1 minute, ensuring the temperature lowers slightly. This prevents the cheese from curdling.
   • Add the cubes of Scimudin to the cream. Stir gently to allow the cheese to melt.
   • Add the grated Parmigiano Reggiano to the cream and stir until everything is well combined into a smooth, rich fondue.

3. Cook the Spinach: In a separate pan, heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté for a few minutes. Be careful not to overcook the spinach; it should remain vibrant and not wilt too much.

4. Cook the Spaghettoni: Once the water is boiling, add the spaghettoni and cook according to the package instructions until they are al dente.

5. Combine: Once the spaghettoni are cooked, drain them and immediately transfer them into the pan with sautéed spinach. Stir gently to combine.

6. Assemble the Dish: Pour the Scimudin fondue over the pasta and spinach mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.

7. Plate the Dish: Serve the spaghettoni in individual plates. Drizzle any remaining fondue from the pan over the top, and finish with a sprinkle of Pesteda Valtellinese for added flavor and a touch of authenticity.

8. Serve: The Spaghettoni with Scimudin Fondue is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately and savor the creamy, rich flavors of this traditional Valtellina-inspired dish.
