INGREDIENTS
6 jumbo pasta shells (approx. 150g)
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese (124g)
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (30g)
1/2 cup marinara sauce (125g)
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella (28g)
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese (5g)
1 teaspoon olive oil (5g)
1 garlic clove, minced
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the jumbo pasta shells in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool briefly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, cooked spinach and garlic, and half of the marinara sauce. Mix until smooth.
Stuff each pasta shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture and arrange them in a single layer in a lightly greased baking dish.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the stuffed shells. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious, protein-packed stuffed pasta shells!
