De Cecco Conchigliette Piccole Rigate n.53 (500g)

Product Information

You can freeze it either before it's baked, or freeze the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Conchiglie are popular amongst consumers dueto their shape and capabilities to hold different fillings. Plus many specialty pasta shapes were first produced in the South, especially in Gragnano near Naples, which is the place I mentioned above.

If you do require precise ingredient information you should consult the manufacturer, whose contact details will appear on the packaging or label. This translates into conch, for the shape of the pasta as it is like a conch shell – and the end of the pasta name then indicates it’s a miniature. It is then SLOW-DRIED to nurture the flavour, preserving the nutrients of the flour and developing a pasta with INCREDIBLE TASTE.

This pasta is good to throw into soups or stews, but is a personal favourite in the summer when I use it to make simple salads, or layered salads as it is the perfect size to make a neat thin layer of pasta as a layer. I loaded this stuffed shells recipe with four cheeses: ricotta, cream cheese, mozzarella, and parmesan so that it is incredibly satisfying! Made with our signature blend of flours, these beautiful shells have a nutty taste that adds depth and texture to your soup, salad or sauce. While they boil, throw together the filling, then drain the shells and stuff them before arranging in a casserole dish and covering with sauce and cheese.

These ridges, also known as “rigate”, are formed by forcing the pasta dough through a cutter with ridges or by rolling it over a ridged surface.The salad is dressed when the pasta is warm and I find it sucks in a lot of moisture from the oil and vinegar.

Please always read the label, warnings and instructions provided on the product before using or consuming it. I recently made this and it was a really tasty and fresh way of making pasta I will also make some of your other kinds of pasta and see how they taste.Conchiglioni have a ribbed exterior surface and a smooth interior, which means that the interior fills in when stirred into the sauce, while the ribbing allows the sauce to stick to the outside. This cute, mini shells are the perfect shape to pick up little puddles of sauce, and we're given them a slightly rougher texture so that they hold onto even more of those lovely flavours. Short pasta, long pasta, pasta that can be stuffed, pasta for soups - the uses for pasta are endless!
