Over a 50% price increase
Not a bad product. They were the largest organic shells, that I could find to stuff. However, I paid 9.06 in December 2023 and now they gave gone up another $5.39…..so until the seller comes back to Earth and adjusts the price, these will start on the self….they just aren’t worth the price

Amazing
This is some of my favorite pasta of all time. I’m from New Jersey so I don’t say that lightly!The flavor is great, the size is better! These shells are perfect for stuffing. I use a concoction of mashed white beans, garlic, and kale (tastes better than it sounds), stuff it into these cooked shells, and then place them into a glass tray with marinara sauce to cook a bit longer in the oven. Delicious. At least for me it can be a challenge to find extra large shells like this at ShopRite or other local grocery stores.Even with just a little marinara sauce they are delicious. I kind of wish the packaging was a little easier to open, but that’s such a small thing. It’s fancy!

Great product
I don’t know what these people are doing to shred their pasta but I don’t have problems with it. Been using this pasta for over 5 years and I’ve never ever had a problem. You have to make sure that you have at least one gallon Water for every one pound of pasta. When you drop the pasta and Stir just once or twice and leave it alone until it’s done. Also the Pasta water must be at a rolling boil. The estimates on the package for cooking time are very accurate at sea level.

Donât buy: falls apart
I been making baked shell pasta dishes for years and never had any trouble until now. Large shell pasta can be fussy and break easily but I found brands sold at other stores (e.g., Barilla, Ferrara, Pastifico G. Di Marlino) are much more forgiving than this Italian brand. I estimate that I get a âbreakage rateâ of about 10% (but most broken shells are only cracked and still usable), but with Seggiano every single shell was broken into dozens of pieces. I see my experience mirrored in the many submitted photos of broken pasta from other shoppers. Until W.F. switches brands, Iâll be shopping for large shell pasta elsewhere. Awful quality at any price.ADDENDUM: I bought another brand of jumbo shells at another store and they still fell apart on me! I did some research on-line to see if someone knew anything about what was going on with conchiglioni, especially with brands from Italy. I found a couple of plausible explanations on âcolor + personal pronounâ (a reminder that not everything on the internet is true so take this information with a big grain of salt). One possibility is bad quality control. Pasta makers are not properly drying their pasta and putting out an occasional bad batch. A second possibility is that a pasta maker is using local spring water with a high and specific mineral content (i.e., hard water). If one boils the pasta in water with a different pH or different mineral profile, a reaction that tears the pasta apart from within can occur. Apparently Barilla uses municipally treated water (from Bologna), so its water is similar to that in North America.With no better information to go on with, I plan to only buy domestic pasta brands or foreign brands that have consistently given me good results in the past. I hope this helps. Good luck out there.

So much for stuffed shells?
I love Seggiano pastas but these are terrible. The pictured shells are under al dente and were dropped and stirred very gently. Still, almost all of them completely fell apart. Huge waste! 🙁 what is the point of buying large shell pasta if they fall apart and canât be stuffed?
