INGREDIENTS
1 serving (approx. 60g dry) Whole Wheat Jumbo Pasta Shells
1/2 cup (124g) Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 cup (180g) Cooked Fresh Spinach
1 large Egg White (33g)
1/2 cup (125g) Marinara Sauce
1 tablespoon (5g) Grated Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the whole wheat jumbo pasta shells in boiling salted water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, cooked fresh spinach, and egg white. Stir well until the mixture is creamy and homogeneous.
Gently fold in half of the marinara sauce into the ricotta-spinach mixture to add moisture and flavor.
Stuff each cooked pasta shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture and arrange them in a single layer in a lightly greased baking dish.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the stuffed shells.
Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top of the sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the shells are heated through.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
