History


Lumache
loo-MAH-chay  (Italian for "snails") are shells that are shaped like a snail shell and often served with chunky sauces.  This hollowed out pasta has one end open and the other end compressed, almost closing it completely.

A larger shell, called lumaconi, is usually stuffed and baked.
