INGREDIENTS
3 whole wheat pasta shells (approx. 90g)
1/2 cup low-fat ricotta cheese (125g)
1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese (113g)
1 cup fresh spinach (30g)
1 large egg white (30g)
1/2 cup tomato sauce, no salt added (125g)
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (5g)
Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
Cook the whole wheat pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine low-fat ricotta cheese, low-fat cottage cheese, egg white, and chopped fresh spinach. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well blended.
Carefully fill each pasta shell with the creamy spinach and cheese mixture using a small spoon.
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish, then cover with the remaining tomato sauce.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is slightly golden.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
