Hearty Spinach and Ricotta Stuffed Shells
Savor a comforting dish featuring jumbo pasta shells generously filled with a velvety mixture of part-skim ricotta, vibrant spinach, and a hint of egg white for extra protein, all enveloped in a zesty marinara sauce and finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan for an irresistible finish.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup jumbo pasta shells (packed) (~100g)
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese (~124g)
2 cups fresh spinach
1 large egg white
1/2 cup marinara sauce (~125g)
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 garlic clove
1 tsp olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and prepare a baking dish by lightly coating it with olive oil.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells in a large pot of boiling water until al dente, about 9-10 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, heat a small skillet with olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg white, sautéed spinach, and garlic. Stir until well incorporated. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Fill each pasta shell generously with the ricotta-spinach mixture and place them in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the stuffed shells and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese has melted slightly.
Serve warm and enjoy a hearty, flavorful meal that fits perfectly within your protein and calorie goals.
