Healthy Creamy Spinach Ricotta Stuffed Shells
Enjoy a light yet satisfying dish featuring jumbo pasta shells filled with a creamy blend of lowfat ricotta, fresh spinach, and a hint of egg white, enhanced with tender shredded chicken and aromatic garlic. The shells are smothered in a rich marinara sauce and finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for an extra burst of flavor.
INGREDIENTS
4 jumbo pasta shells (~90g)
½ cup lowfat ricotta cheese (~124g)
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (~30g)
1 large egg white (~30g)
½ cup marinara sauce (~125g)
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (~5g)
25g shredded cooked chicken breast
1 garlic clove
Salt & pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and cook the jumbo pasta shells until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the lowfat ricotta cheese, chopped fresh spinach, egg white, minced garlic, and shredded chicken breast. Season with salt and pepper, then mix until well blended.
Gently stuff each cooked shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in a single layer over the sauce.
Pour the remaining marinara over the shells and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the filling is heated through.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
