INGREDIENTS
3 Jumbo Pasta Shells
1 cup Cooked Spinach
1/3 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cooked spinach to the pan with garlic, stirring to combine. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
In a bowl, combine the spinach mixture with the low-fat ricotta cheese. Mix in half of the shredded mozzarella and season with salt and pepper as desired.
Stuff each cooked pasta shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish and spoon the remaining marinara sauce on top.
Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella cheese over the shells.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
