U taganu

Every year the feast of Aragona’s tagano is held on the first Sunday after Easter. It is a moment when tagano is distributed accompanied by local wine in Rosario plaza. The plaza is crowded with people who taste the dish. “U taganu” is a dish that symbolises Easter in Aragona. The pasta dish is seasoned with meat, eggs and cheese. The name comes from the earthenware pan. It’s cooked in the afternoon of Holy Saturday to be consumed on Easter Monday. “U taganu” is baked in the oven for at least two hours and it can be eaten cold or hot.
