INGREDIENTS
100g cooked Jumbo Pasta Shells
1/2 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese (~124g)
1 cup cooked Fresh Spinach (~180g)
1/4 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella (~28g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (~125g)
1 large Egg White
1 Garlic Clove
1/2 teaspoon Dried Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the jumbo pasta shells until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the cooked spinach and stir until warmed through.
In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg white, chopped spinach and garlic, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
Stuff each cooked shell with the creamy spinach-ricotta mixture and arrange them in the baking dish. Drizzle the remaining marinara sauce over the shells and sprinkle evenly with shredded mozzarella.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Allow the stuffed shells to cool for a few minutes before serving.
