Ingredients:


15 ounces ricotta cheese -- part skim milk

1 cup monterey jack cheese -- shredded

2 cups mozzarella cheese -- part skim milk, shredded

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

2 large eggs -- beaten

10 ounces frozen spinach

1 dash salt

1 dash black pepper

1/2 pound pasta shells -- jumbo

30 ounces marinara sauce

1 dash ground nutmeg -- optional
 

Preparation / Directions:


1. Thaw the spinach, chop, and drain very well. 2. Combine the ricotta, jack, Parmesan cheese and 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Add the beaten eggs, spinach, salt and pepper. Add the dash of nutmeg if using. Set aside. 3. Cook pasta according to the package and drain well. 4. Fill the drained and cooled pasta shells with the cheese mixture. Place enough sauce in a pan to just cover bottom. Use a pan large enough to hold the filled shells in one layer. Pour remaining sauce evenly over shells; sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese over top of shells. 5. Bake in preheated 350-degree oven for about 30 minutes.
