INGREDIENTS
4 jumbo pasta shells (≈80g)
½ cup ricotta cheese (≈124g)
1 cup cooked spinach (≈180g)
½ cup marinara sauce (≈125g)
1 large egg white (≈33g)
¼ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella (≈28g)
½ tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the jumbo pasta shells until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, cooked spinach, egg white, shredded mozzarella, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended.
Carefully stuff each cooked shell with the ricotta and spinach mixture.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish and spoon the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the top.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is slightly melted.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm.
