Lumaconi Giganti - 553

A large, shell-shaped pasta with a smooth surface and a sizable hollow center, perfect for stuffing with rich fillings like ricotta, spinach, or meaty ragù. Their name comes from the Italian word lumaca, meaning "snail," due to their spiral, conch-like shape. These oversized shells are ideal for baked dishes, such as Lumaconi al Forno, where they can be layered with sauce and cheese, creating a comforting, hearty meal. Their substantial size and shape make them a showstopper on the dinner table, offering both a satisfying bite and the ability to hold substantial fillings, making them a favorite for special occasions or family meals.
