What it goes with Conchiglie Like most pasta, the only difference between this pasta and any other is simply the size and shape. This pasta is good to throw into soups or stews, but is a personal favourite in the summer when I use it to make simple salads, or layered salads as it is the perfect size to make a neat thin layer of pasta as a layer. Add the pasta to a large pot of boiling water, stir and bring to a boil. Cook for 10-12 minutes, drain and add to sauce.

Heat a frying pan with 2 or more tablespoons of olive oil, you can use butter or other preferred oil. Stir for about 2 minutes and add 225-300 grams of baby spinach to enrich the pasta with a sweetly bitter flavor and add a daily essential mineral to your diet. And spinach really does enrich pasta. Yes! This is a great dish to make and freeze for later. You can freeze it either before it's baked, or freeze the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw completely before heating or reheating it in the oven. What goes with stuffed shells? I brought this to a rooftop garden party the other evening and when all was said and done, about one scoop was left. True to form, this pasta salad did not disappoint! This variety is the smallest, typically 5–10 mm (0.2–0.39 in) long and 2.5–5 mm (0.1–0.2 in) wide. Because of its small size, it’s best used for creamy soups. One example is using it as a substitute for macaroni in creamy macaroni soup. Conchiglie
