About Sagra dei Cazzarielli e Fagioli
Cazzarielli, pasta of tradition
In Forlì del Sannio, in the province of Isernia, the Sagra dei Cazzarielli e Fagioli celebrates one of the most representative dishes of poor Molise cuisine. Cazzarielli are a short, handmade fresh pasta that pairs perfectly with beans in a hearty and genuine dish, an expression of the peasant tradition of upper Molise.
A Ferragosto festival
The sagra (food festival) is traditionally held on Ferragosto, August 15th, when the village comes alive and welcomes locals and visitors. Food stalls offer cazzarielli with beans and other local specialties, in a festive and convivial atmosphere typical of Molise summer festivals.
Authentic flavours of upper Molise
Forlì del Sannio, nestled in the mountainous landscapes bordering Abruzzo, preserves a rich gastronomic tradition — consider also the nearby Sagra del Tartufo di Vandra. The Sagra dei Cazzarielli e Fagioli is part of this heritage of flavours, offering an opportunity to discover the authentic cuisine of this corner of Molise.
