Setaro Lumachine is a small, curved shell pasta made by Pastificio Setaro in Torre Annunziata, near Naples, Italy. Its charming name means "little snails" in Italian, referring to the pasta's curled, snail-shell-like shape. The hollow center and curved form help capture broth, sauce, and small ingredients in every spoonful.
How to Use Setaro Lumachine
Lumachine is especially well suited to soups, broths, beans, lentils, vegetables, and other comforting Italian dishes. Its small hollow shape also works beautifully with light tomato or cheese-based sauces, which can collect inside each piece.
