INGREDIENTS
1 serving (approx. 4 jumbo whole wheat shells, ~70g cooked)
1/3 cup part-skim ricotta (~80g)
1 cup fresh spinach (raw)
3 large egg whites
1/2 cup marinara sauce (~125g)
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella (~28g)
1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta, fresh spinach, and egg whites. Mix in the dried Italian seasoning along with salt and pepper to taste.
Gently fill each cooked shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture.
Spread half of the marinara sauce evenly in a baking dish.
Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish and pour the remaining marinara sauce over them.
Sprinkle the shredded part-skim mozzarella evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
