Wheat Shells

Shell shaped pasta that comes in a variety of sizes. The larger pasta shells, called "conchiglie" in Italian, are used for stuffing with ingredients such as meat, vegetables, cheese, and legumes. The smaller sizes, called "conchigliette" in Italian are used for soups, salads and casseroles. The surface of the shell can be smooth or ribbed.
