INGREDIENTS
4 Jumbo Pasta Shells
1/2 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
3 Egg Whites
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta shells until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg whites, and the cooked spinach and garlic mixture. Stir until well blended. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the ricotta mixture into each cooked pasta shell, packing the filling generously.
Arrange the stuffed shells in a baking dish and pour the marinara sauce evenly over them.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the filling is heated through and the flavors meld together.
Remove from the oven and serve warm, garnished with a few extra spinach leaves or basil if desired.
