INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Jumbo Pasta Shells (~125g)
0.75 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese (~170g)
1.5 cups Fresh Spinach (~45g)
1 large Egg White (~33g)
0.25 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (~28g)
0.25 cup Marinara Sauce (~60g)
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan Cheese (~5g)
1 clove minced Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese with the egg white and minced garlic. Stir until smooth.
Add the fresh spinach to the ricotta mixture, gently folding it in to distribute evenly.
Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese for extra creaminess.
Mix the cooked jumbo pasta shells with the marinara sauce in another bowl.
Layer half of the pasta shells into a lightly greased baking dish, then spread the creamy ricotta and spinach mixture over the pasta.
Top with the remaining pasta shells and finish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden on top.
Allow to cool slightly before serving to let the flavors meld.
