Cavatelli are a specialty originating from the Molise region: it is a small, fresh type of pasta, whose main characteristic is the presence of an internal cavity. As time passed, cavatelli also became popular in neighboring territories, such as Puglia for example, and then spread to Campania and Calabria, being consequently seasoned with very different sauces, for example tomato-based , seafood or even vegetables. To best celebrate this gastronomic specialty, events are organized in the area, among which one of the most famous is certainly that of Vitorchiano.
