INGREDIENTS
3 oz Jumbo Pasta Shells
1/2 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
2 cups Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 oz Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1 Egg White
2 cloves Garlic
1 small Onion
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Remove the skillet from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese, the sautéed spinach mixture, egg white, chopped basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Stuff each pasta shell with the ricotta and spinach mixture and arrange them in a baking dish.
Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the filled shells. Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Allow the stuffed shells to cool for a few minutes before serving.
