INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Jumbo Pasta Shells (~140g)

1 cup Fresh Spinach (~30g)
1/4 cup Part-skim Ricotta Cheese (~62g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (~122g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente, drain and set aside.
In a skillet, brown the lean ground chicken over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet with the chicken and cook until just wilted.
Stir in the marinara sauce to combine with the chicken and spinach, and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Gently fold in the ricotta cheese into the mixture, ensuring it is well distributed.
Combine the pasta shells with the chicken mixture, stirring carefully so the shells remain intact.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and heat in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the dish is warmed through.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-rich meal.
