INGREDIENTS
1 cup Jumbo Pasta Shells (cooked)
0.75 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
0.25 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 large Egg White
2 Garlic Cloves
2 Tbsp Fresh Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese, egg white, and part-skim mozzarella. Stir in finely chopped garlic and fresh basil, and season with salt and pepper.
Gently fold in the fresh spinach so that it slightly wilts in the mixture.
Stuff each pasta shell with the creamy ricotta and spinach mixture and arrange them in a baking dish.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes, until the filling is heated through and flavors meld.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes for a lightly golden top if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, protein-packed baked shells.
