INGREDIENTS
6 jumbo pasta shells (cooked, approx. 100g)
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese (124g)
1 cup fresh spinach (30g)
1/2 cup marinara sauce (125g)
1/4 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese (28g)
1 egg white (33g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, fresh spinach, and egg white. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
Stuff each cooled pasta shell with the ricotta and spinach mixture, then arrange them neatly in the baking dish.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the shells, then sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese on top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the stuffed shells cool for a few minutes before serving.
