INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked jumbo pasta shells (≈100g)
3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese (≈180g)
1.5 cups cooked spinach (≈135g)
1/2 cup marinara sauce (≈125g)
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese (≈5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese with the cooked spinach. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Fill each pasta shell with a generous spoonful of the ricotta-spinach mixture.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the shells.
Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese has slightly browned.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
