Saw this new pasta shape at my local Aldi, what sauces would you all recommend to go with this?

Not familiar with that shape, but looks like it would go pretty well with a bolognese.

Lumaconi translates to snails.🐌
Probably similar treatment as shells pasta shapes.
My Italian grandmother ate pasta with sautéed vegetables daily. The lumaconi would work well with vegetables. The veggies my grandma used were grown in her garden. She sautéed the vegetables in olive oil of course. She garnished the finished dish with grated cheese. Grandma lived into her mid 90s.

I saw this today and wondered the same thing. Those shells are huge!

It means “big snails.”

Lumaconi are ideal for pairing with rich sauces like a ragù or a cheese-based sauce. You can also fill it with ricotta and spinach or with a meat mixture and bake it with mozzarella and tomato sauce. That’s how I’ve had it. Really delicious and fun to eat.
I’m gonna have to head over to Aldi because it’s a difficult shape to find.

Ragù. The way the meat goes into the pasta… Beautiful.

I stuffed them with ricotta and spinach, making them like cannelloni. Put them in the oven and let them cook.

I do lumache with ‘nduja, rapini, and mascarpone, so I’d assume this shape would work well as well!

Lumaconi are snail shells, literally!
May I suggest you buy a tray of snails and serve them as sauce, the way you would with mussels or cockles? (vongole to the non Irish)
Snails and shells, with melted butter and finely chopped parsley mmhmmh!

Whenever I have a pasta with a similar shape as this one you took a photo of, I use a sauce not too salty, as this pasta tends to “hold on” to more sauce than spaghetti, for example.
