INGREDIENTS
4 oz equivalent Whole Wheat Pasta Shells (approx 112g)
1/2 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese (approx 124g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (approx 30g)
3 large Egg Whites (approx 33g total)
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce (approx 62g)
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (approx 5g)
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta shells in boiling water according to package instructions until just al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, egg whites, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the fresh spinach until evenly distributed.
Lightly coat a baking dish with a bit of marinara sauce. Spread a thin layer of marinara on the bottom.
Fill each cooked pasta shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture. Arrange the stuffed shells in the baking dish.
Drizzle the remaining marinara sauce over the shells and sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese has slightly melted.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving as a satisfying main dish.
