Barilla Conchiglie Rigate No. 93 in a 500 g blue box, ridged durum wheat pasta shells, al dente in 12 minutes, for baked pasta, salads and sauces.
Barilla Conchiglie Rigate comes in the deep blue Barilla box with the red and white oval logo and the words dal 1877. Golden ridged pasta shells surround the logo, and the top reads Barilla Classic, Conchiglie Rigate No. 93. Lower down the box says unique blend of selected durum wheat in English and Arabic, gives an al dente time of 12 minutes in red, and shows the net weight as 500 g. As general background, conchiglie are a type of shell-shaped pasta, usually sold in the plain durum wheat variety, and the shell shape lets the sauce adhere to it. Commonly, kitchens cook shells in plenty of salted boiling water to al dente, then toss them with tomato or cream sauces, bake them with cheese, or chill them for pasta salads. Lifestyle photos show shells boiling in a steel pot and a bowl of shells in tomato sauce with fresh basil beside green salad.
