Creamy Baked Spinach Ricotta Stuffed Shells
Enjoy a comforting and delicious baked pasta dish featuring tender jumbo shells filled with a creamy blend of ricotta and nutrient-packed spinach, all nestled in a rich marinara sauce and finished with a light sprinkle of melted mozzarella for a satisfyingly savory finish.
INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Jumbo Pasta Shells (dry)
1/2 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Cooked Spinach
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/4 cup Shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Dried Basil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add cooked spinach to the skillet, stirring to combine with the garlic. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with the sautéed spinach and garlic. Stir in the dried basil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Fill each cooked shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture and arrange them in a lightly greased baking dish.
Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the stuffed shells, then sprinkle the top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
