1/2 cup low-sodium marinara sauce
1/4 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt, pepper, dried basil & oregano to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta shells according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a bowl, mix together the low-fat ricotta cheese, whole egg, egg white, minced garlic, fresh spinach, and a pinch of salt, pepper, basil, and oregano.
Stuff each cooked pasta shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture, arranging them in a baking dish.
Pour the low-sodium marinara sauce evenly over the stuffed shells and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
