INGREDIENTS
6 whole wheat jumbo pasta shells
3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese (approx. 175g)
3 egg whites
1 cup fresh spinach
1/4 cup marinara sauce
Salt and Pepper to taste
Garlic powder and Italian herb seasoning to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the pasta shells in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, egg whites, chopped fresh spinach, garlic powder, Italian herb seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Carefully fill each cooked pasta shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture using a small spoon.
Lightly spread a layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish.
Top the shells with the remaining marinara sauce, ensuring even coverage.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the shells are heated through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
