INGREDIENTS
1 serving Whole Wheat Pasta Shells (approx. 140g)
½ cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese (approx. 124g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 large Egg White
½ cup Tomato Sauce (no salt added)
½ ounce Grated Parmesan Cheese
Fresh Basil (optional, 3 sprigs)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, fresh spinach (chopped if desired), and egg white. Mix well until evenly incorporated.
Season the ricotta mixture lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Stuff each cooked pasta shell generously with the ricotta and spinach mixture and arrange them in a lightly greased baking dish.
Pour the tomato sauce evenly over the stuffed shells. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until heated through and the cheese is slightly bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil sprigs before serving.
