De Cecco Semolina Pasta, Shells No.50, 1 Pound (Pack of 5)

Description:

  • Contains 5-16 oz boxes
  • 100% Durum Wheat Semolina
  • Made in Italy
  • Cooking time: 13 min - Al dente: 11 min
  • Shaped through Bronze Dies to create a rough surface to better retain sauce
  • Slowly Dried at low Temperature to Preserve Nutritional Properties. GMO Free. Kosher.

  • De Cecco gently grinds the heart of each grain, mixes it with cold spring water, then kneads the dough slowly. This results in pasta with the exceptional de Cecco aroma, flavor, and consistency. Pasta easily cooks to perfection, has a great firm texture, and a delicious “fresh” pasta taste. It has a rougher surface, which helps the sauce stick to it. Since 1886 we have liked our pasta to be bronze drawn and slowly dried because we like it to fall into the plate full of taste, rough and always "al dente". Even though our taste has not changed, as we feel the same love for tradition, we have continued to improve our production technologies. Make de Cecco pasta the secret ingredient for your most amazing dishes.Buon Appetito! Shells, which originate from the Campania region, are now very popular all over Italy. The name comes from the shape which resembles a seashell and is one of the most popular pasta shapes because it can capture any kind of sauce. This pasta is especially good in oven-baked recipes, with fish or meat sauces, as well as being excellent when accompanied by light tomato sauces, with ricotta or pesto alla genovese. Available in 1 lb pack.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Dried Pasta

    V. · August 6, 2024

    De Cecco imo, makes the best reasonably priced dried pasta that you can find on most supermarket shelves. Unfortunately, and for reasons I'll never understand, most don't stock this particular size of shells and so I buy them through Bolo. When I was a little girl, my parents would moan that I'd only eat pasta with butter - I hated tomatoes. Occasionally, we'd go out to a neighborhood Italian place, and my mother would always feel embarrassed about asking the waiter to put only butter on my pasta. Otherwise I wouldn't eat it. One time, a handsome young waiter smiled and said - but that's the way real Italians eat pasta! Many decades later, I still think of that waiter, his kindness to a little girl, and I know he was an angel in disguise (who set my parents straight, ha). I eat tomato sauce now, but I still recommend doing the butter-only thing with these shells. Cook them a little past al dente and smother them while piping hot, in good fresh butter, some salt/pepper and if you like, a little parmesan. Some things in life are not worth the stress of calorie-counting.

    I like the texture and size of the number 50 pasta shell best. De Cecco is the only brand that I can find locally but our mkt doesn't carry any more. I like the flavor that the Italian slow drying gives better than American brands. I eat pasta often enough to get the 5 boxes.

    Pasta shells are my favorite for some reason. These are nice because they are on the larger size and that’s what I like. Usually in stores they sell ‘medium’ shells or the jumbo ones to stuff. I ordered a 5 pack of these; and the only issue I had was that all the boxes were damaged/crushed in some way. Otherwise I would have give 5 stars

    5.0 out of 5 stars De Cecco is Definitely Worth the Money.

    T.M. · September 1, 2014

    De Cecco is by far the best tasting dried pasta on the market. The pasta always comes out al dente and there is a definite difference in taste between this pasta and the lesser expensive pasta. I can no longer find this in my local stores and luckily, Bolo has this on Subscribe and Save; Yay!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Hands down the best tasting boxed pasta out there

    C.L. · June 22, 2015

    Hands down the best tasting boxed pasta out there. The al dente cooking time is a bit misleading, that's really only the time to use if you plan on finishing it up in some sauce. Otherwise cooking it to the normal time on the box is a perfect al dente.
