INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Jumbo Pasta Shells (approx. 57g)
5 oz Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese (approx. 142g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
0.33 cup Low-Sodium Marinara Sauce (80g)
0.25 cup Shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella (28g)
0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
0.5 tsp Onion Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta shells in a large pot of boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the fresh spinach until evenly mixed.
Stuff each cooked pasta shell with a generous spoonful of the ricotta-spinach mixture.
Pour a thin layer of marinara sauce into a lightly greased baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish and pour the remaining marinara sauce over the top.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the shells.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
