A larger version of Barilla Medium Shells with a shape that resembles a shellfish, Large Shells are inspired by the sea-side communities of Naples and Genoa. The graceful, concave shape is covered in ridges that allow this shape to capture the flavor of the sauce added to this dish. Barilla Large Shells offer the same delicious taste and versatility as the other shell shapes and hold sauces for optimum flavor. They pair well with both hearty tomato and meat-based sauces.
