Provided by á-10469

Number Of Ingredients 12

18 jumbo pasta shells (about 6 ounces)
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 15 oz can crushed tomatoes
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt plus
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper plus additional for seasoning
2 cups baby spinach, finely chopped
1 cup low-fat ricotta
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1 egg white, lightly beaten
Olive oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Cook shells according to package directions; rinse under cold water, drain and pat dry. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, sugar and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer until sauce is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat a 9 x 9 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Combine spinach, both cheeses, egg white and 1/4 teaspoon of each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spoon half the tomato sauce into prepared dish and mix. Stuff each shell with 1 heaping tablespoon and arrange stuffed shells in baking dish. Spoon remaining sauce over shells and cover with aluminum foil. Bake until pasta is cooked through and sauce begins to bubble, about 30 minutes. Let sit 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

I made this last night, but I made a few changes. I used a jar of Alfredo sauce instead of making my own, and I added a bit of Parmesan cheese to the filling. It turned out amazing! My family loved it.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe - I used whole wheat shells and a reduced-fat ricotta cheese. The stuffed shells still turned out great. They were a little more dense than with regular shells, but still very tasty.
