Festa della Pasta Ripiena e del Castrato

The Festa della Pasta Ripiena e del Castrato returns to Bevilacqua, the most characteristic hamlet of Crevalcore, to celebrate the gastronomic excellence of Emilia-Romagna. For three consecutive weekends from June to July, the food stand set up on Via Riga opens its doors to enthusiasts of authentic Emilian cuisine, offering a genuine and unforgettable culinary experience. A tradition with deep historical roots: this festival celebrates two absolute protagonists of the Emilian table. Filled pasta, with its artisanal variants passed down through generations, represents the excellence of handmade pasta sheets. Castrated lamb, a noble dish of regional cuisine, is a historic recipe dating back to Bologna's peasant traditions, when this meat represented a special feast for local communities. The event invites you to taste the symbolic dishes of local tradition: from the celebrated tortelloni balanzone to tortellini filled with ricotta and spinach, from delicate fagottini to homemade pappardelle, to passatelli that embody the soul of Bolognese cuisine. But the true star remains the grilled castrated lamb, the festival's signature dish that brings a historic recipe to the table with all its authentic flavour. With dedicated hours every evening from 19:30 to 23:00 for three weekends (19-21 June, 26-28 June and 3-5 July), the festival welcomes visitors seeking authenticity and genuine flavours. The gastronomic offering is completed with varied second courses, zero-kilometre seasonal sides and typical desserts that conclude a 360-degree culinary experience. **Reserve your table and immerse yourself in the flavours of Emilia-Romagna!** For information on reservations, prices and specific details, contact the festival organisers directly.
