INGREDIENTS
4 ounces whole-wheat pasta shells (cooked, ~113g)
3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese (~170g)
1 cup fresh chopped spinach (~30g)
1/2 cup marinara sauce (~125g)
1/4 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded (~28g)
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese (~5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the whole-wheat pasta shells according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, chopped fresh spinach, and marinara sauce until well blended.
Gently fold in the cooked pasta shells ensuring each shell is coated with the ricotta and spinach mixture.
Arrange the stuffed shells in a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded low-fat mozzarella evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese melts and begins to turn golden.
Remove from the oven and top with a light sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese before serving.
