In a mixing bowl, combine 1½ cups of cottage cheese with 1½ teaspoons of Italian seasoning, ¾ teaspoon of garlic powder, 4 tablespoons of grated parmesan, and ¼ cup pizza sauce. Blend until smooth.

For a creamier texture, blend using a hand blender or food processor.

Transfer the cottage cheese mixture to a baking dish, spreading it evenly. Mix in ¼ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Top with an additional ¼ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and desired toppings.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.

For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2-3 minutes.

Alternatively, cook in an air fryer at 350°F for 10-15 minutes or heat in the microwave for 2 minutes.

Allow to cool for a minute before serving warm.
