INGREDIENT NOTES:

JUMBO PASTA SHELLS:

  • We use them for stuffing because they hold a generous amount of filling. They distribute the components evenly across the dish. You may use whole-wheat jumbo shells as another option.

SALMON:

  • Salmon gives protein and a rich taste that blends beautifully with the creamy filling. It keeps your meal nutritious and satisfying. You may use cooked chicken breast as another idea.

PART-SKIM RICOTTA CHEESE:

  • It makes a creamy filling while containing less fat. Part-skim ricotta cheese keeps the recipe lighter. Use reduced-fat cottage cheese as per your choice.

REDUCED-FAT MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

  • We use it to include classic melted cheese texture while adding low calories. You may use reduced-fat Italian blend cheese as an alternative.

TURKEY BACON:

  • Turkey bacon gives a smoky taste and complements the salmon with cheese. Use lean chicken bacon as per your preference.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

  • Parmesan cheese gives a rich flavor that improves the overall taste of the filling. Use Asiago cheese as per your choice.
