Enjoy a heartwarming dish of pasta shells stuffed with a creamy ricotta-spinach filling, brightened with a touch of garlic and finished with a rich marinara sauce. This comforting meal offers a delightful blend of textures and flavors, perfect for a satisfying dinner.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup whole wheat pasta shells (cooked)
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup fresh spinach
1/2 cup marinara sauce
2 large egg whites
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove minced garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta shells according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, fresh spinach (chopped roughly), egg whites, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
Carefully stuff each pasta shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture using a small spoon.
Arrange the stuffed shells in a baking dish in a single layer. Spoon the marinara sauce evenly over the top of the shells.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the edges of the shells begin to crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
