INGREDIENTS
4 Jumbo Pasta Shells (cooked ~100g)
1/2 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese (~124g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (~110g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (chopped, ~30g)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (~28g)
1 Egg White
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce (~62g)
Fresh Basil sprigs (3 sprigs)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells in a pot of boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta, low-fat cottage cheese, egg white, and chopped fresh spinach. Stir until smooth and well-mixed.
Lightly fold in the part-skim mozzarella cheese into the filling mixture.
Stuff each cooked shell with the creamy mixture carefully using a spoon or piping bag.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish, then drizzle the remaining marinara sauce over the top.
Tear or slice the fresh basil and sprinkle it over the shells.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the shells are heated through and the sauce is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
