INGREDIENTS
5 whole wheat jumbo pasta shells (~75g)
1/2 cup low-fat ricotta cheese (~125g)
1 cup fresh spinach (chopped, ~30g)
2 egg whites (~66g)
1/2 cup marinara sauce (~125g)
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (~28g)
1 teaspoon dried basil
Pinch of salt
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta shells according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese, chopped fresh spinach, egg whites, dried basil, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well mixed.
Gently fold the cooked pasta shells into the ricotta and spinach mixture, ensuring each shell is well coated with the filling.
Spread half of the marinara sauce on the bottom of a lightly greased baking dish.
Place the stuffed shells into the baking dish in a single layer and drizzle the remaining marinara sauce over the top.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the shells.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the flavors meld together.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
