Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and position rack in center. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add pasta shells and cook until al dente, about 8–10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté fresh spinach until wilted and bright green, about 2 minutes. Transfer spinach to a sieve, drain thoroughly and squeeze out all excess moisture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine drained spinach, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, beaten egg, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
- Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each cooked shell with about 2 tablespoons of spinach-ricotta mixture.
- Spread half of the marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish. Arrange stuffed shells upright, then spoon remaining sauce over tops and sprinkle with mozzarella.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake at 375°F for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until cheese is golden and bubbling.
