These cute noodles, made from wheat semolina, resemble rustic shells, with a scooped shape made for holding rich and redolent sauces. Satisfying with a hearty consistency, this pasta tastes homemade but actually takes less than 15 minutes to prepare. Packaged pasta does not get more authentic than this; we found artisanal pasta makers in southern Italy who lovingly craft each noodle to ensure quality, so you can enjoy a great Italian meal at home.

These noodles are fantastic drowning in luscious tomato or cream sauces, or with cut up cubes of cheese. Or blend all ingredients and toss so you get a gooey, melted bowl of indulgence. Good enough to eat on their own with a drizzle of olive oil and a dash of salt, you can also saute these with veggies; the sturdy noodles nicely complement starchy, autumn vegetables like squash, and zucchini. Also try making it with chicken for a protein-packed plate, or use to make a refreshing pasta salad.
