ingredients

• 12 large pasta shells
• 1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
• 1 cup low fat cottage cheese
• 1⁄2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
• 1 (8 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes, drained
• sea salt
• ground black pepper
• 1 cup prepared pasta sauce (in my home, homemade)
• 1⁄4 cup grated parmesan cheese

directions

1. Preheat over to 375°F.
2. Cook the shells according to the package directions, and drain them well.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the spinach, cottage cheese, mozzarella and tomatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Spread ¼ cup of the sauce on the bottom of an 8” x 11” baking dish. Stuff each shell with about ¼ cup of the spinach mixture, and arrange the shells in a single layer in the dish.
5. Pour the remaining sauce over the shells.
6. Cover with foil and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the shells are heated through.
7. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese just before serving.
