INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
4 Jumbo Pasta Shells (cooked)
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
1 cup Broccoli Florets
1 tsp Olive Oil
Dash Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground beef until browned, seasoning with salt, pepper, and a dash of Italian seasoning. Once cooked, drain any excess fat.
Mix the cooked beef with the low-fat ricotta cheese in a bowl. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Fill each cooked jumbo pasta shell with the beef and ricotta mixture. Place the stuffed shells in an oven-safe baking dish and spoon a light layer of marinara sauce over them.
In a separate bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet.
Place both the stuffed shells (in their baking dish) and the broccoli sheet in the oven. Roast the broccoli for about 15-18 minutes until tender and slightly crispy along the edges, and bake the shells for 20 minutes until heated through.
Serve the stuffed shells with a side of roasted broccoli and an extra drizzle of marinara if desired.
