Sagra delle 'ndrocchie

In the charming village of Cupello, perched on Abruzzo's picturesque Costa dei Trabocchi, the Sagra delle 'Ndrocchie celebrates one of the most authentic dishes of local culinary tradition. 'Ndrocchie are fresh egg pasta, entirely handmade, resembling generous, wide fettuccine: every metre of this dough tells stories of housewives, ancient gestures passed down through generations, of a cuisine rooted in the most genuine peasant simplicity. During the festival, these traditional noodles are served with rich and hearty sauces: from meat ragù to sausage and mushroom toppings, to classic dishes with tomato and local pecorino cheese. But the true magic of the festival lies in witnessing the preparation firsthand, thanks to educational workshops where culinary artisans showcase traditional dough-making and rolling techniques, transforming the gesture of expert hands into true culinary art. The festive atmosphere is amplified by folk music performances, artisan stalls and traditional games that enliven the village streets, creating an unmissable opportunity to discover authentic Abruzzo. Here, surrounded by the aromas of home cooking and the warm hospitality of the local community, every visitor will be captivated by a dish that represents the very essence of Abruzzese cuisine.
