INGREDIENTS
40 grams dry jumbo pasta shells
3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
2 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese with the fresh spinach. Stir until the spinach is evenly distributed throughout the ricotta. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Stir in the marinara sauce into the ricotta-spinach mixture, creating a creamy, cohesive filling.
Carefully spoon the filling into each cooked pasta shell until they are generously stuffed.
Arrange the filled shells in a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden and the dish is heated through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
