INGREDIENTS

1 cup fresh spinach
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 tbsp grated Parmesan
3 egg whites
1 tsp olive oil
1 garlic clove
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta shells until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, then remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and egg whites. Stir in the sautéed spinach, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
Stuff each pasta shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture and place them in the baking dish.
Pour the tomato sauce evenly over the stuffed shells and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until heated through and the flavors meld together.
Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed, creamy pasta shells.
