Stuffed Shells
This is just about our very favorite low calorie dish. I have modified it a bit from one I got from Healthy Choice cookbook.
Ingredients
- 1 cup low fat cottage cheese
- 8 oz NO fat shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup regular shredded mozzarella
- 1 cup fresh basil, chopped, or 1 1/2 Tbs dried
- 1 Tbsp. fresh minced garlic
- 16 jumbo pasta shells, prepared as directed on box
- 1 jar low fat spaghetti sauce
- optional, 1/2 lb. lean ground beef, browned (you will need more pasta shells if beef is added)
Directions
Mix low fat cottage cheese, no fat mozzarella, basil, garlic and optional beef. Spray a 9x3 inch baking dish with no-stick spray and pour a small amount of spaghetti sauce in the bottom. Stuff shells with mixture and place in baking dish. Top with the rest of the spaghetti sauce and sprinkle with the 1/2 c regular mozzarella. Bake, covered with foil for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees F.
This also freezes well before it is baked. Thaw before baking if frozen.
