Commonly called ‘shells’ or ‘sea shells’ because of their shape, in fact, the word ‘conchiglia’ in Italian means sea shell. Conchiglie aren’t a very ancient pasta shape and are only produced dried. Because they haven’t been around for very long they don’t have a history which is particular to a certain Italian region. Conchiglioni are the jumbo shells, which are similar in size to lumaconi (snail shell pasta) and are excellent stuffed and baked.
