INGREDIENTS
6 jumbo pasta shells (approx. 150g total)
1/2 cup nonfat ricotta cheese (124g)
1 cup drained frozen chopped spinach (90g)
1 large egg white (33g)
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (5g)
1/2 cup marinara sauce (125g)
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
1 clove minced garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the nonfat ricotta cheese, drained spinach, egg white, dried Italian herbs, and minced garlic. Mix until well incorporated.
Carefully stuff each pasta shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture. Arrange the stuffed shells in a baking dish in a single layer.
Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the shells and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the shells are heated through.
Remove from the oven and let the dish cool slightly before serving.
