Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen spinach -- thawed and squeezed dry
1/4 cup feta cheese -- crumbled
1/4 cup small curd cottage cheese -- drained a bit
1/8 cup egg substitute
14 jumbo pasta sheels
8 oz. no-salt added tomatoes -- undrained
2 tbsp. tomato paste
1 tsp. dried Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. coarse salt
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese -- shredded
Put up a big pot of water. When at a boil, put in pasta shells and cook for allotted time. Drain.
While cooking pasta, combine spinach, feta cheese, cottage cheese and egg substitute in a small bowl. When pasta is cooked, spoon spinach mixture into shells. Place in a lightly greased 8" baking dish or spoon some of the sauce on the bottom of the pan and then place the shells on top of that (if watching weight).
Combine tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer 5 minutes. Pour over stuffed shells.
Bake shells, covered, at 350° F for 20 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle mozzarella cheese over top and finish baking for 10 minutes until mozzarella is bubbly. Yield: 4 small servings or 2 large.
