INGREDIENTS
2 ounce-equivalents Jumbo Pasta Shells (approx. 56g total)
1/2 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese (124g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 large Egg Whites
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
Fresh Basil (3 leaves, optional)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg whites, and finely chopped fresh spinach. Mix well until smooth and evenly distributed.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese into the ricotta mixture. If desired, season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Stuff each pasta shell with a generous spoonful of the ricotta-spinach filling.
Pour the marinara sauce evenly in the bottom of the baking dish.
Arrange the stuffed shells over the marinara sauce. Spoon a little extra sauce on top of the shells if preferred.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the filling is set and the sauce is bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves if using, and serve warm.
