Sticking to the Basics - Tuesday
Its an altered recipe for crustless pizza
1 cup 2% cottage cheese
1/2 cup egg beaters
10 oz. Hunts Zesty and Spicy Spaghetti Sauce
10 box Spinach (Thawed and Squeezed Dry)
2 cup bag of Sargento reduced fat 4 blend Italian Cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Take a metal pan and prep with canola spray oil
blend cottage cheese, spinach, egg beaters, 1/4 cup sauce and 1/4 cup of cheese
Blend until mixture is tacky and evenly mixed
Lay out on your metal pan evenly, no holes or gaps, doesn't matter if round or square
top with remaining cheese and drizzle with remaining sauce
bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is golden and bubbly
remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes
Cut into 8 slices and wrap each piece in aluminum foil
They are wonderful for a snack or lunch (don't reheat it, its better cold, its more solid)
If you would like to make the crustless without the cottage cheese use same recipe but instead of Hunts Zesty and Spicy use Classico Spicy Tomato and Pesto
Some days your the dog and some days your the hydrant.
Here's what I used:
1 lb ricotta
1 c. shredded mozzarella
1 package frozen spinach
2 eggs
I cooked the spinach, then added all other ingredients and stirred, poured it into a pie plate that I had sprayed with oil and cooked at 350 for 30 minutes. I had marinara on the side for dipping. Very good!
