INGREDIENTS
12 Jumbo Pasta Shells
2 cups Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
4 cups Fresh Spinach, chopped
4 large Egg Whites
2 cups Marinara Sauce
1 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder & Red Pepper Flakes
Salt & Black Pepper, to taste
4 sprigs Fresh Basil (for garnish)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, egg whites, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
Stuff each shell generously with the ricotta-spinach mixture and arrange them in the baking dish.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the shells and sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil sprigs and serve warm.
