Details

Create a variety of signature pasta dishes with this Barilla jumbo shells pasta. Characteristically a concave shape that's covered in ridges, this seashell-like pasta exterior holds onto your signature sauces, while the interior can be filled with decadent fillings to ensure maximum flavor with every bite. Best used as part of a baked pasta dish, this pasta's large surface area and ridges allow sauces to adhere to the entire surface of the noodle while baking making it an ideal pairing for meat-, dairy-, and tomato-based sauces and vegetables. For a classic dish with delicious contrasting flavors, stuff cooked jumbo shells with a ricotta-based filling with parmesan, mozzarella, and spinach, and top with a chunky tomato sauce before baking. Or, create a unique dish by stuffing the shells with a sun dried tomato and pesto flavored ricotta, then smother the dish with decadent bechamel sauce before baking. No matter how it's prepared, Barilla pasta is trusted among Italian chefs and remains Italy's #1 brand of pasta for its reliability in texture and ability to complement fresh ingredients and bold flavors.

This pasta is made with the finest durum wheat semolina to deliver great taste and ensure an "al dente" texture your customers crave, every time. Soft and fine, durum semolina is ideal for pasta as it easily forms the shape with its supple, moldable dough and holds up well during cooking. To prepare, use 4-6 quarts of water per pound of pasta. Bring to a rolling boil and add salt to taste. Add the pasta to the boiling water, stir gently, and return to a boil. For "al dente" pasta that will be baked, boil uncovered for 9 minutes, stirring occasionally and if the pasta is not being baked, boil for 12 minutes. For more tender pasta, boil for an additional minute. Remove from the heat and drain well. Simply add your preferred ingredients, plate, and serve!

In 1877, Pietro Barilla opened a bread and pasta shop in Parma, Italy with the dream of supplying his community with the most delicious handmade bread and pasta to serve at their own family tables. Pietro and his son Riccardo worked tirelessly to make and deliver their products daily to the streets of Parma and over the years began to purchase more advanced pasta-making technology and warehouse space to keep up with the demand. After years of success and expansion due to their commitment to quality, authentic products and a passion for innovation, Barilla has since positioned itself as the world's leading industrial pasta producer. It remains an Italian family-owned company that is dedicated to bring high-quality, nutritious products while supporting an environmentally-sustainable production process from field to fork.
