Conchiglie | Medium Shells

With a shape that resembles a seashell, it is easy to see how the locals in the seaside communities of Naples and Genoa got their inspiration for the creation of Medium Shells, or Conchiglie. Its graceful, concave shape is covered in ridges. Plus, this pasta cut's ability to hold sauces and fillings makes it a versatile choice for pasta salads, casseroles, and soups, adding texture and flavour to every bite.
