Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While that’s warming up, I like to gather all my ingredients so they’re ready to go. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mixing them all together creates a creamy and flavorful base. Make sure to add the diced tomatoes and any veggies you want at this point—it’s a fun way to sneak in those extra nutrients! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
