INGREDIENTS
2 ounces dry whole wheat pasta shells
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup fresh spinach
1/4 cup marinara sauce
2 large egg whites
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta shells in boiling, salted water according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, egg whites, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Fold in the fresh spinach and a few tablespoons of the marinara sauce to lightly coat the mixture.
Mix the cooked pasta shells into the ricotta-spinach blend until evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish and drizzle the remaining marinara sauce on top.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the dish is bubbly and the top begins to turn golden.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
