INGREDIENTS
40 grams Whole Wheat Jumbo Pasta Shells
125 grams Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
30 grams Fresh Spinach
28 grams Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
82 grams Marinara Sauce
2 Egg Whites
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Cook the whole wheat pasta shells in boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese, egg whites, and fresh spinach. Stir until evenly mixed. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Fill each cooked pasta shell with a spoonful of the ricotta-spinach mixture and arrange them in a single layer in the baking dish.
Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the stuffed shells, ensuring they are well covered.
Sprinkle the shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
