INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked jumbo pasta shells (140g)
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese (124g)
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (30g)
1 whole egg (50g)
1/4 cup marinara sauce (62g)
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella (28g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, chopped fresh spinach, and the whole egg. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Stir in the marinara sauce into the ricotta mixture, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
Fill each cooked pasta shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture and place them in a baking dish in a single layer.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the stuffed shells.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
