Setaro Lumaconi is a large, curved shell pasta made by Pastificio Setaro in Torre Annunziata, near Naples, Italy. Its name comes from the Italian word lumaca, meaning "snail," a reference to the pasta's distinctive snail-shell-like shape. The large hollow center makes Lumaconi particularly well suited to holding generous fillings and sauces.
How to Use Setaro Lumaconi
Lumaconi is ideal for stuffing and baking. Fill the large shells with ricotta and spinach, cheese, meat, or vegetables, then bake them with tomato sauce or another favorite sauce. They can also be served with hearty ragù and chunky sauces that settle naturally inside the pasta.
