Creamy Ricotta Stuffed Shells with Zesty Marinara
Jumbo pasta shells baked with a savory turkey and spinach-ricotta filling, finished with a zesty marinara sauce and a sprinkle of salty parmesan.
INGREDIENTS
5 whole jumbo pasta shells
4 ounce ground turkey (93% lean)
0.25 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 large egg white
0.5 cup marinara sauce
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano
0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
0.25 teaspoon sea salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the jumbo pasta shells in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, approximately 9 minutes, then drain and set aside.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until fully browned and crumbled.
Add the fresh baby spinach to the skillet and sauté until just wilted, then remove from heat to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked turkey and spinach with the ricotta cheese, egg white, dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Spread half of the marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of a small oven-safe baking dish.
Stuff each cooked pasta shell generously with the turkey and ricotta mixture and arrange them in the baking dish.
Spoon the remaining marinara sauce over the shells and sprinkle with the grated parmesan cheese.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is golden.
