INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Jumbo Pasta Shells (approx. 140g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese (approx. 124g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (approx. 30g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (approx. 125g)
2 large Egg Whites (approx. 66g total)
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells in salted boiling water until al dente, drain, and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese, egg whites, and a handful of fresh spinach (chopped finely). Season with salt and pepper.
Gently fold in the remaining fresh spinach to distribute evenly.
Lightly coat a baking dish with olive oil and spread half of the marinara sauce evenly on the bottom.
Stuff each cooked shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture and arrange them in the baking dish.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the stuffed shells and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the tops are lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
