Conchiglie () are a type of pasta. They are usually sold in the plain durum wheat variety, and also in colored varieties which use natural pigments, such as tomato extract, squid ink or spinach extract. The shell shape of the pasta allows the sauce to adhere to it. There is a larger variation known as conchiglioni, and a miniature version called conchigliette.
Conchiglie are claimed to have been traced back to southern Italy, where they were traditionally made using durum wheat semolina.
