INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked jumbo pasta shells
1/3 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup cooked, drained frozen spinach
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 egg whites
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, thawed spinach, egg whites, minced garlic, and chopped basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon a small amount of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish to prevent sticking.
Stuff each pasta shell generously with the ricotta-spinach mixture and place them in the prepared baking dish.
Drizzle the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the stuffed shells and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the filling is set and the sauce is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
