  • 16 jumbo pasta shells
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 6 ounces low fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large pot of salted water boil pasta shells until al dente. Drain well and rinse.
  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  3. In medium bowl, combine spinach, mozzarella cheese, cottage cheese, egg white, parmesan cheese, nutmeg, and Italian seasoning until blended.
  4. Fill each pasta shell with a heaping tablespoon of spinach mixture. Pour 1 cup spaghetti sauce into a 8x12 inch baking dish, spread evenly. Place shells in pan.
