INGREDIENTS
1 serving Jumbo Pasta Shells (cooked) (~100g)
1 cup fresh Spinach (~30g)
1/2 cup part-skim Ricotta Cheese (~124g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (~125g)
1/4 cup shredded part-skim Mozzarella (~28g)
2 large Egg Whites (~66g total)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, fresh spinach, and egg whites. Stir until evenly mixed.
Spoon the ricotta and spinach mixture into each cooked shell gently, ensuring they are well filled.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the shells, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow the dish to cool slightly before serving.
