INGREDIENTS
6 whole-wheat jumbo pasta shells (85g cooked)
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese (124g)
1 cup fresh spinach
1/4 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded (28g)
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg white
1/2 cup marinara sauce (125g)
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta, fresh spinach, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and egg white. Stir in the minced garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
Carefully stuff each cooked pasta shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish and spoon a little more marinara over the top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
