scrigno di Venere
ark shell or a tortellini timballo
Literally 'Venus' jewel box', also known in Italian as scafarche (Scapharca spp), it is a recent arrival from the Pacific to the Adriatic, and tastes delicious, too.
A scrigno di Venere can also be a timballo filled with tortellini, ragù, and bechamel sauce.
