Pasta Shell

Pasta shells (conchiglie) are short, shell-shaped pastas—usually made from durum wheat semolina—that hold sauces and fillings well. They’re commonly eaten with tomato or cream-based sauces, in soups, pasta salads, or baked casseroles. People track pasta shells to record portion size and macronutrients, note grain or gluten content, and keep accurate meal logs for dietary preferences or meal planning.
