INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked whole wheat pasta shells
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
2 egg whites
1 cup chopped fresh spinach
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup tomato sauce (no salt added)
1 clove minced garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta shells according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, egg whites, chopped spinach, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly incorporated.
Fill each cooked pasta shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture, ensuring a generous portion in each.
Spread half of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish in a single layer.
Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the shells and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
