INGREDIENTS
1 serving whole wheat jumbo pasta shells (150g)
1/2 cup low-fat ricotta cheese (125g)
1 cup fresh spinach (30g)
1/4 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese (28g)
1/2 cup marinara sauce (125g)
1 large egg white (33g)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat jumbo pasta shells in a large pot of boiling water until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine low-fat ricotta, egg white, and fresh spinach. Stir in the part-skim mozzarella, and season with salt and pepper.
Carefully spoon the ricotta-spinach mixture into each cooked shell, ensuring they are well-filled.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish, then spoon the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the shells are heated through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
