INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked whole wheat pasta shells (~70g)

1 large egg white (~33g)
1 cup fresh spinach (30g)
1/2 cup marinara sauce (~125g)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg white, fresh spinach (chopped if preferred), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the filling is smooth and evenly combined.
Carefully spoon the ricotta mixture into each cooked pasta shell, ensuring each shell is generously stuffed.
Arrange the stuffed shells in a baking dish and pour the marinara sauce evenly over the top.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until heated through and the filling is set.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
