In Molise, Easter is a pleasure for the palate. There are many typical dishes, carefully prepared according to traditional recipes.

Here is our top 4:

1. Lamb with cheese and eggs (in dialect, casce e ova), a classic of the typical cuisine. A tribute to the tradition that carries the symbols of the Christianity: lamb and eggs.

2. Casciatelli (or even fiadoni). A rustic combination of eggs and cheese enveloped in a very firm dough in the shape of half-moon. 

3. The Easter pine cone. A slow rising cake, generally flavored with anise and covered with a sugar glaze.

4. The pastiera. The pastiera (traditional Neapolitan cakes baked during Easter) can not miss during the Easter period. It is also prepared with rice instead of wheat.
