INGREDIENTS
6 whole wheat pasta shells (approx. 80g)
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese (124g)
1 cup fresh spinach (30g)
2 egg whites (66g)
1/2 cup marinara sauce (125g)
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta shells until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, fresh spinach, and egg whites. Mix gently until well incorporated.
Carefully stuff each pasta shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in a small baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish and top with the remaining marinara sauce.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
