INGREDIENTS
6 jumbo pasta shells (cooked)
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup cooked fresh spinach
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup marinara sauce
1 large egg white
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, cooked spinach, egg white, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the blend is smooth and well incorporated.
Stir in the marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese into the cheese and spinach mixture.
Fill each cooked pasta shell with the creamy mixture. Place the stuffed shells in a lightly greased baking dish.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on top of the stuffed shells for added moisture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the sauce is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let stand for a few minutes before serving.
