INGREDIENTS
3 Jumbo Pasta Shells (approx. 75g total)
3/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese (170g)
1 cup cooked Spinach (180g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese (5g)
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells in a pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cooked spinach to the skillet and season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir for another minute.
In a medium bowl, combine the sautéed spinach and garlic with the low-fat ricotta cheese. Mix until well incorporated.
Stuff each cooked pasta shell with the spinach-ricotta mixture.
Spread half of the marinara sauce evenly on the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells over the sauce in a single layer.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the shells and sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese on top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is slightly browned and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
