INGREDIENTS
85 grams Whole Wheat Pasta Shells (dry)
1/2 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese (124 g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30 g)
1 Large Egg
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Dried Basil
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, fresh spinach (roughly chopped), the egg, minced garlic, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Carefully fill each cooked pasta shell with the ricotta and spinach mixture. Arrange the stuffed shells in a lightly greased baking dish.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until the filling is heated through and the flavors meld.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes for a slight golden top. Serve warm.
