Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Place a large saucepan with well salted water over high heat; bring water to a boil; cook pasta al dente, according to package directions. Drain; set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil; when it starts to shimmer, add garlic; cook until it begins to brown, about 1 minute.
Add chopped spinach; stir; cook until it begins to wilt, about 3 - 4 minutes. Remove from heat; cool.
In a bowl, stir together cooked spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, onion powder, dried Italian herbs, dried parsley, dried basil, salt and pepper until thoroughly combined.
Pour and spread out 1 c. marinara sauce into a 9x13 baking dish.
Stuff each pasta shell with a good amount of spinach and cheese mixture; place in the baking dish. Pour in the remaining marina sauce. Cover with aluminum foil.
Bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil; bake until the top begins to brown, about 10-15 minutes.
Serve warm, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
