RUMMO Organic Wheat Shells Pasta No. 42
What it is
This is a package of RUMMO Organic Wheat Shells Pasta, specifically labeled as No. 42. It is made from organic durum wheat semolina, a common base for many dried pasta shapes. The shells are a medium-sized, ridged pasta designed to hold sauces well. The organic certification indicates the wheat was grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, adhering to specific agricultural standards. This pasta is a pantry staple for many households.
How people cook with it
Shells pasta is a versatile shape that works well in a variety of dishes, from simple weeknight meals to more elaborate pasta bakes.
- Sauces cling to the ridges
- Great in pasta salads
- Perfect for baked dishes
- Holds chunky ingredients
To prepare, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the RUMMO Organic Wheat Shells Pasta and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, meaning it is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your favorite sauce, or use in a cold pasta salad. The ridged surface helps capture and hold sauces, making each bite flavorful.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to smooth pasta shapes, the ridges on these shells are designed to trap more sauce. The organic wheat may offer a slightly different texture or flavor profile to some palates, though the fundamental cooking properties remain similar to other high-quality durum wheat pastas.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a reliable and versatile pasta shape for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
