INGREDIENTS
3 ounce-equivalents Jumbo Pasta Shells (cooked, approx 90g)
1/2 cup Ricotta Cheese (124g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (5g)
2 Egg Whites (66g total)
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells in boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg whites, fresh spinach, salt, and pepper. Drizzle in olive oil and stir to blend evenly.
Gently fold in the cooked pasta shells with the ricotta mixture until shells are evenly coated.
Place the filled pasta shells in a lightly greased baking dish.
Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the shells and sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the filling is heated through and the cheese has slightly melted.
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
