Lumaconi: The Grand Shell for Stuffing
500 g
Meaning “large snails” in Italian, Lumaconi’s oversized shell shape is specifically designed for rich fillings like ricotta, spinach, and mozzarella. Use this elegant pasta to create stunning baked casserole dishes.
Lumaconi is one of the most striking and impressive pasta shapes on the Italian table, pleasing both the eye and the palate. Named after large snails, these magnificent shells are centered around the art of stuffing, much like Jumbo Shells. Their generous cavity is perfectly engineered to hold savory fillings such as seasoned ground meat, rich cheese mixtures, and aromatic herbs. When you bake Lumaconi in copious tomato sauce and top it with melted cheese, you create an unforgettable main course presentation where each piece is a self-contained explosion of flavor. Every dish you prepare with Lumaconi promises not just a meal, but an elegant Italian feast.
