There is a simple cuisine that, despite the changes and the progressive enrichment, has preserved authenticity and genuineness.

Pizza e minestra. In Molise the corn pizza (in dialect pizze de randinie) has been known for centuries as the poor’s daily bread. In this specific case, this dish was prepared with a simple field or vegetable soup and, when possible, it was flavored with pork.

Taccozze e fagioli with pork rind is a simple dish made with home-made rhombus-shaped pasta and seasoned with beans and pork rind. It has to be served with a drizzle of olive oil.
