Classic ItalianStuffed shells are a make-ahead dish: fill them during prep, hold them chilled and bake to order. Classic fillings are ricotta and spinach, a meat ragù or mushrooms with béchamel, while a seafood or vegetable filling suits a lighter menu. Boil them a couple of minutes short of the indicated time so they keep their shape in the oven. As a rough guide, four to five shells make a starter portion.

Conchiglioni are bought for an occasion: Sunday lunch, a family gathering, a holiday bake. That makes them a planned purchase with a larger basket, since buyers also pick up ricotta, sauce and cheese. A one-line filling suggestion from staff helps first-time buyers decide. They add a less common shape to the pasta range.
