With a shape that resembles shellfish, it is easy to see how the locals in the sea-side communities of Naples and Genoa got their inspiration in the creation of Medium Shells, or Mezzo Conchiglie. Its graceful, concave shape is covered in ridges. Both the ridges and generous cup created from the hollowed curve allow this pasta to capture the flavor of the sauce added to this dish. Barilla Medium Shells offer the same delicious taste and versatility as
Large Shells and
Jumbo Shells, but in a smaller size that’s just right when you want a more delicate cut. The ridged sea shell shape of medium shells retains sauces beautifully, while their subtly nutty flavor enhances everything from a refined tomato-cream sauce to a traditional chunky meat ragu.
