INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup whole wheat pasta shells (cooked)
0.75 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup fresh spinach
3 large egg whites
0.33 cup low-sugar tomato sauce
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta shells according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, fresh spinach, egg whites, and minced garlic. Stir well until the mixture is evenly blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste if desired.
Carefully fill each pasta shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture.
Spread a thin layer of low-sugar tomato sauce on the bottom of a small baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish and top them with the remaining tomato sauce.
Drizzle olive oil over the shells and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the filling is set and the sauce is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
