INGREDIENTS
6 jumbo pasta shells (140g cooked)
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese (125g)
1 cup cooked fresh spinach (180g)
1 large egg (50g)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon fresh basil
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the jumbo pasta shells in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, cooked spinach, and the large egg. Stir in the garlic powder, fresh basil, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until the filling is well incorporated.
Stuff each pasta shell generously with the ricotta-spinach mixture. Arrange the stuffed shells in a lightly greased baking dish in a single layer.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until the filling is set and the shells are heated through.
If desired, uncover for the last 5 minutes to allow the tops to slightly brown. Serve warm, garnished with extra fresh basil if preferred.
