INGREDIENTS
6 jumbo pasta shells (~140g total)
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese (124g)
2 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup marinara sauce
2 ounces diced chicken breast
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the pasta shells in boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a small skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet and cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, fresh spinach, and cooked garlic along with the chicken. Stir until well mixed.
Carefully stuff each pasta shell with the ricotta-spinach-chicken mixture.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish and spoon additional marinara sauce over the tops.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through and bubbly.
Remove from oven and serve warm. Adjust salt and pepper if needed.
