Enjoy a wholesome twist on classic stuffed shells with a light yet flavorful filling of part-skim ricotta, fresh spinach, and a hint of garlic.

INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Jumbo Pasta Shells
1/2 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach, chopped
2 Egg Whites
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Marinara Sauce
1/4 cup Low-Fat Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1 clove Garlic, minced
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat jumbo pasta shells in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, egg whites, chopped spinach, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly blended.
Fill each cooked pasta shell with a generous spoonful of the ricotta-spinach mixture.
Spread a thin layer of low-sodium marinara sauce in a baking dish and arrange the stuffed shells on top.
Spoon additional marinara sauce over the shells and sprinkle the low-fat shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
