Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, shredded mozzarella, chopped spinach, sliced bell peppers, marinara sauce, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until it’s well combined. I love the vibrant colors and the aroma of fresh herbs as I mix! The cottage cheese adds a lovely creaminess to the mixture that makes your mouth water.
