INGREDIENTS
6 Jumbo Pasta Shells (approx. 150g cooked)
1/3 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese (approx. 80g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (approx. 30g raw)
3 Egg Whites (approx. 100g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (approx. 125g)
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (approx. 5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta, egg whites, and fresh spinach. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
Stuff each cooked pasta shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture, ensuring an even distribution of the filling.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish in a single layer.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the shells, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until heated through and the sauce is bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and serve warm.
