INGREDIENTS
1 serving (75g) Jumbo Pasta Shells
1/3 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 cup cooked Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
3 large Egg Whites
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 Garlic Clove
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta, low-fat cottage cheese, and egg whites. Add minced garlic and mix until smooth.
Fold the cooked spinach into the cheese mixture along with a pinch of salt, pepper, and dried oregano for flavor.
Stuff each cooked shell with the spinach and cheese mixture using a small spoon.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in a lightly greased baking dish and arrange the stuffed shells in a single layer.
Top the shells with the remaining marinara sauce and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over them.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until bubbly and lightly golden on top.
Let cool slightly before serving.
