Ingredients

24 Jumbo Pasta Shells, uncooked

2 cups canned tomato sauce

1 10-oz. package frozen chopped spinach, thawed

8 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1 3/4 cup)

1 1/2 cups cottage cheese

3 egg whites

1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Large pinch ground nutmeg

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse under cold water until completely cool. Drain thoroughly.

2. Preheat oven to 350? F. Squeeze as much water as possible from the thawed spinach. In a large bowl, stir together the spinach, mozzarella, cottage cheese, egg whites, pepper and nutmeg until thoroughly blended.

3. Line the bottom of an 11 x 7-inch baking dish with 1/2 cup tomato sauce. Divide the cottage cheese mixture among the pasta shells, pressing the filling into the shells with spoon to completely fill each shell. Arrange the shells side by side in a baking dish. Coat the shells with an even layer of the remaining tomato sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if desired.

4. Bake until the center of the shells are heated through and the sauce is bubbling, about 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving
