INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Jumbo Pasta Shells (dry)
1/2 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 large Egg
2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, beaten egg, sautéed spinach and garlic, and 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix the cooked pasta shells with the ricotta-spinach mixture until all shells are evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden and the filling is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
