For the shells

For the filling
- 1 tbsp olive oil

- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp dried italian seasoning
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the jumbo pasta shells and cook for 2 minutes less than the package directions indicate, until just barely pliable but still firm — they will finish cooking in the oven. Drain in a colander, rinse briefly with cool water to stop cooking, and spread on a clean surface so they don't stick together.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant and just golden at the edges, about 1 minute. Add the baby spinach in batches and cook, tossing with tongs, until fully wilted and any liquid has evaporated, about 3–4 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, let cool for 5 minutes, then roughly chop.
