INGREDIENTS
4 shells Jumbo Pasta Shells
1/3 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
2 Egg Whites
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/8 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells in lightly salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, egg whites, low-fat cottage cheese, and fresh spinach. Stir in a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Carefully stuff each pasta shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a small baking dish.
Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish and spoon the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the top.
Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
