INGREDIENTS
4 jumbo pasta shells (approx. 113g each)
1/2 cup low-fat ricotta cheese (approx. 124g)
1 cup fresh spinach (approx. 30g)
1/2 cup marinara sauce (approx. 124g)
1/4 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese (approx. 28g)
3 egg whites (approx. 99g total)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese, egg whites, and fresh spinach. Stir until well blended.
Season the ricotta-spinach mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Stuff each pasta shell generously with the ricotta-spinach mixture.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish.
Spoon the remaining marinara sauce over the shells and sprinkle with part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and serve warm.
