INGREDIENTS
6 jumbo whole wheat pasta shells
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup chopped fresh spinach
1/3 cup marinara sauce
2 large egg whites
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic
1/4 medium onion
Fresh basil (about 4 leaves, chopped)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells in boiling salted water until just al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and egg whites. Stir in the chopped spinach, minced garlic, finely diced onion, and chopped basil. Mix until well incorporated.
Carefully spoon the ricotta-spinach mixture into each cooked pasta shell.
Arrange the stuffed shells in a lightly greased baking dish. Drizzle the marinara sauce over the shells, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes until heated through and slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let the dish cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your creamy, nutrient-packed meal!
