INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Jumbo Pasta Shells (cooked)
1/3 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese (~80g)
2 cups Fresh Spinach (raw)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 Egg (large)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with the egg, stirring until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Chop the fresh spinach roughly and gently fold it into the ricotta mixture, allowing the residual heat to slightly wilt the greens.
Stuff each pasta shell with a generous spoonful of 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 additional marinara sauce over the top.
Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the shells.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese on top is lightly melted.
Remove from the oven, let cool briefly, and serve warm.
