INGREDIENTS
4 Jumbo Pasta Shells (≈60g cooked)
1/2 cup Part-Skim Ricotta (≈125g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (≈30g)
3 large Egg Whites (≈100g)
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (≈5g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (≈125g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the jumbo pasta shells until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, fresh spinach, and egg whites. Mix thoroughly until well blended. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Stuff each pasta shell generously with the ricotta-spinach mixture and place them in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the stuffed shells. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese begins to melt.
Remove from the oven, garnish with extra fresh spinach or basil if desired, and serve warm.
