INGREDIENTS
5 jumbo pasta shells (approx. 90g cooked)
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta (approx. 125g)
1 cup fresh spinach
2 egg whites
2 tbsp shredded part-skim mozzarella
1/2 cup no-added-sugar marinara sauce
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells in a pot of boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, fresh spinach, egg whites, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the spinach is evenly distributed.
Fill each pasta shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a small baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish in a single layer.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the shells and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed baked stuffed shells.
