7 Tasty Recipes With Conchiglie (Pasta Shell) Pasta
Looking for sea shell pasta recipes?
Also known simply as “shells,” or their official Italian name, conchiglie, shell pasta is a loveable pasta shape reminiscent of the sandy treasures you collect on the beach. Likewise, sea shell pasta is a treasure of Italian cuisine. There are two types of pasta shells: the larger jumbo shells and the small short-cut pasta that you enjoy the same way you might penne rigate or orecchiette.
Jumbo shells are traditionally stuffed with a ricotta cheese mixture and then baked up in tomato sauce. But there are so many variations on this classic stuffed shells recipe: ground beef, Italian sausage, cream sauces, etc. Now when it comes to the small shell pasta, this sturdy short cut of pasta boasts a practical scoop shape that makes it an excellent cut for capturing sauces and small ingredients.
Whether you’re looking for baked pasta recipes for large shells or some smaller pasta shell recipes, we’ve got all the pasta recipes you need. Check out some of our favorites here.
