INGREDIENTS
1 serving whole wheat jumbo pasta shells (approx. 8 shells)
1/2 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 cup fresh spinach (raw, will reduce with cooking)
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
Boil a pot of water and cook the whole wheat pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese and low-fat cottage cheese. Finely mince the garlic and add to the mixture along with the fresh spinach. Stir until evenly mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Fill each cooked pasta shell with the creamy spinach and cheese mixture. Arrange the stuffed shells in the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the shells.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is warmed through and the top is slightly golden.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
