INGREDIENTS
4 jumbo pasta shells
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup fresh spinach
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup marinara sauce
1 tsp olive oil
1 garlic clove
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small baking dish.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the finely chopped garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
In a mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, fresh spinach (chopped if preferred), sautéed garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly incorporated.
Fill each pasta shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
Spoon marinara sauce evenly over the stuffed shells, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the dish is heated through.
Allow the stuffed shells to cool slightly before serving.
