INGREDIENTS
3 whole wheat pasta shells (75g total)
1/2 cup low-fat ricotta cheese (124g)
1/3 cup low-fat cottage cheese (75g)
1 cup fresh spinach (30g), chopped
1/4 cup marinara sauce (62g)
1/4 small onion (25g), finely chopped
1 garlic clove (3g), minced
1 egg white (33g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a small baking dish by lightly coating it with non-stick spray.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta shells according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese, low-fat cottage cheese, chopped fresh spinach, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, and egg white. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed to create a creamy filling.
Gently spoon the cheese and spinach mixture into each cooked pasta shell, ensuring each shell is filled generously.
Place the stuffed shells in the prepared baking dish and drizzle the marinara sauce over the top, covering the shells lightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the filling is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
