INGREDIENTS
6 Jumbo Pasta Shells (approx. 80g cooked)
1/2 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese (approx. 124g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (approx. 30g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (approx. 125g)
3 ounces Diced Chicken Breast (approx. 85g)
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese (approx. 5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the jumbo pasta shells until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese with the fresh spinach. If desired, gently heat the spinach first to wilt it slightly before mixing.
Stir in the diced chicken breast into the ricotta-spinach mixture for an extra protein boost.
Fill each cooked pasta shell with the creamy mixture.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of a baking dish.
Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish, then drizzle the remaining marinara sauce evenly over them.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the dish is bubbly and the edges of the shells become slightly crisp.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm.
