1 cup fresh spinach
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 egg whites
1 tsp olive oil
1 minced garlic clove
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg whites, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Stir in the fresh spinach gently into the ricotta mixture.
Fold the cooked whole wheat pasta shells into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Add the marinara sauce and mix until just combined.
Lightly drizzle olive oil into a baking dish and transfer the pasta and ricotta mixture, smoothing it out evenly.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the dish is bubbling and slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
