INGREDIENTS
1 serving jumbo whole wheat pasta shells (approx. 100g cooked)
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese (125g)
1 cup fresh spinach (30g)
1 large egg white (33g)
1 oz grilled chicken breast (28g)
1/2 cup marinara sauce (125g)
1/4 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded (28g)
1/2 tsp garlic powder

PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the pasta shells in boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a bowl, mix the part-skim ricotta cheese, fresh spinach (chopped if large leaves), egg white, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Fold in the diced grilled chicken breast into the ricotta mixture.
Stuff each cooked pasta shell generously with the ricotta and chicken mixture.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a lightly greased baking dish.
Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish and spoon the remaining marinara sauce evenly on top.
Sprinkle the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese over the sauced shells.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is slightly melted.
Serve warm and enjoy this wholesome, protein-packed dish.
