Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (Low-fat or full-fat)
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup chopped spinach or kale
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- To taste: olive oil, salt, pepper, sliced olives, diced onions, fresh basil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Scoop in the cottage cheese into a beautiful bowl.
- Drizzle olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then toss in diced onions, chopped bell peppers, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until soft and fragrant, about 5–7 minutes.
- Stir in chopped spinach or kale and sauté for another 2-3 minutes; the greens should maintain some crunch.
- Layer the cottage cheese at the bottom of a baking dish, followed by sautéed vegetables, marinara sauce, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with sliced olives and fresh basil.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or for a creamier texture, include a dollop of ricotta on top.
