INGREDIENTS
1 serving whole wheat jumbo pasta shells (100g cooked)
1/2 cup low-fat ricotta cheese (124g)
1 cup fresh spinach
1/2 cup marinara sauce (125g)
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1 tsp olive oil
Seasonings to taste (garlic powder, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish with olive oil.
Cook the whole wheat pasta shells according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese, fresh spinach, whole egg, grated Parmesan, and seasonings. Stir until well mixed.
Carefully stuff each pasta shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture. Arrange the stuffed shells in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the shells and drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil on top.
Bake the shells in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the filling is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
