A single piece of conchiglie (or sea-shell) pasta pictured against a dark stone surface. Also known as conchiglioni.


Conchiglie, commonly known as "shells" or "seashells" is a type of pasta. It is usually sold in the plain durum wheat variety, and also in colored varieties which utilize natural pigments, such as tomato extract, squid ink or spinach extract. The shell shape of the pasta is good at catching the sauce. It is one of the most popular pasta types in the UK.[citation needed]. A mini variety called Conchigliette is also available.
