INGREDIENTS
4 Jumbo Pasta Shells (approx. 50g dried total)
1/2 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese (124g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 Whole Egg
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Boil a large pot of water and cook the jumbo pasta shells until just al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, fresh spinach (chopped if preferred), and the whole egg. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Stuff each cooked shell with a generous spoonful of the ricotta-spinach mixture.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of a lightly greased baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in a single layer over the sauce.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the shells and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until the dish is heated through and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
