Enjoy a comforting twist on a classic Italian favorite with these baked stuffed shells filled with a creamy blend of low‐fat ricotta and fresh spinach, accented by a hint of garlic and savory tomato sauce, then finished with a sprinkle of parmesan for that irresistible cheesy touch.
INGREDIENTS
4 jumbo pasta shells (approx 100g total)
3/4 cup low-fat ricotta cheese (approx 170g)
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (approx 30g)
1/2 cup tomato sauce (approx 125g)
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese (approx 5g)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 small onion, finely chopped (approx 20g)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 egg white
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until just wilted. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese, sautéed spinach mixture, and egg white. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Stuff each cooked shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the tomato sauce evenly over the shells. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until everything is heated through and the flavors have melded.
Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious, protein-packed meal!
