INGREDIENTS
1.4 oz dry Jumbo Pasta Shells (~40g)
1/3 cup part-skim Ricotta Cheese (~80g)
Additional 2 tbsp Ricotta Cheese (~30g)
1 cup chopped Fresh Spinach
1 large Egg (Whole)
1 large Egg White
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/4 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells in a large pot of salted boiling water until just al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, additional ricotta, chopped spinach, whole egg, and egg white. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Fill each cooked shell with a generous spoonful of the ricotta-spinach mixture.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish, then arrange the stuffed shells in a single layer.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the shells.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
Let stand for a few minutes before serving.
