INGREDIENTS
50 grams Whole Wheat Pasta Shells
½ cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
½ cup Marinara Tomato Sauce
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
2 Egg Whites
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook whole wheat pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a bowl, combine part-skim ricotta, egg whites, and a handful of chopped fresh spinach. Mix well until uniformly blended.
Stir in half of the marinara tomato sauce into the ricotta mixture to add moisture and flavor.
Stuff each cooked pasta shell with a generous spoonful of the ricotta-spinach blend.
Arrange the stuffed shells in a lightly greased baking dish and spoon the remaining marinara sauce over the top.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven, garnish with a few fresh spinach leaves if desired, and serve warm.
