Does this sound gross or good to you?

I have been thinking about this idea for a while- tell me if you think it sounds gross or like it could pass.

pita bread pizza base
marinara sauce
***cottage cheese for cheese***

Yurippe

Yuck, sorry. You'll never know until you try it though.

mmshburn

That sounds good. you can add olives and/or feta cheese for a Greek touch!

sounds fine to me you can use cottage cheese in lasagna why not pizza

Try mixing some cottage cheese with tomato sauce before you spread it on a pita. I just like my cottage cheese cold.

I think it sounds yummy!!!

I like cottage cheese, but It doesn't really appeal to me as a pizza topping.

That being said, give it a shot and let us know how it turns out.

When we make homemade pizza, we just use a minimum amount of mozzarella.

I use pitas as crusts all the time, I just use a little pizza sauce and very little low fat mozzarella and top with veggies and chicken.

I did it! it was really good. since i use really small pitas, i made 2 pizzas: one was pita, sauce, cottage cheese and that was very good, the second one i topped with a bit of shredded mozzarella additionally on top. I just microwaved them and the cottage cheese actually melted a little bit.

The pizza didnt have the overwhelming cheese flavor, but I feel very satisfied! some people might want to put on some mushrooms, garlic, olives, or spices but I don't mind things bland sometimes.

If you like pizza and also if you like cottage cheese, i encourage you to try this out!

Going to try this tomorrow on a half of a sandwich thin for lunch! Thanks for the idea .

actually a very old Weight Watchers recipe is 2 tbscottage cheese on a slice of whole wheat bread toasted in the oven till the cheese is brown and bubbly. they suggest adding tomatoes and other diced veggies as toppings. 2 slices is a serving

I have had this many time just plain, my kids love it, my hubby loves it, I love it, it is a great snack, or a breakfast with fruit on side,
or a light lunch with a side salad.

Enjoy!

maybe draining the cottage cheese beforehand would help? then it wouldn't be watery when you put it on and it might melt better? tastes good in enchiladas, i'd try it with pizza

Growing up, my friend's grandma made delicious ground beef casserole that called for cottage cheese. The cottage cheese melted and became creamy and, kind of, cheesy. I've lost the recipe and cant' seem to get the same creamy/cheesy effect. I imagine that the amount of fat in the cottage cheese changes the consistency. I think I'll try your cottage pizza idea!

Sounds good, I may have to try that!

I dont know about the cottage cheese. I had a talk with a dietician and she suggested not totally cutting out anything. She said that a little of the "good quality" foods is not a bad thing, the trick is the quantity. According to her it is better to have a "little" good ice cream or cheese than to have poor quality and feel deprived. I would load it up with veggies and lightly sprinkle cheese on top.

I'm with ya on the little bit of something "good". Plus cottage cheese pizza doesn't sound good to me. I like cottage cheese by its self with a little pepper on top and that's the only way I like it

While I like cottage cheese with fruit, I have to say I don't like the idea of it on a pizza but I am Italian through and through and more traditional in that area, lol. But, what about fat-free ricotta, passed through a strainer?

lotusfromthemud

Sounds good to me.

Of course, I regularly do some of these things :

so, you might not want to listen to me.

I dump it into some whole wheat pasta with marinara all the time...it's like lasagna.

lasagna is usually made with ricotta, not cottage cheese

blondageh

That sound really good. I just happened to be craving cottage cheese yesterday so I went and bought some. I have these Pitas that are 60 cals each and low sugar pasta sauce, Just wish I had some peppers to put on it. I think I will try it tonight! Thanks for the idea! :flowerforyou:

I hope this made you feel good. Guess you are the site spell checker.

Thanks.

Why stop at cottage cheese? Why not load that puppy up with some fresh veggies (go for the veggie supreme-- bell peppers, olives, mushrooms, etc)

marsha73

I would eat it. Sounds good. Try adding green onions and chopped Roma tomatoes

SHAMEKALACHELLE

sounds like something i'd enjoy. I'd add some veggies though. How many calories?

needamulligan

@ mrst: actually, the spell check works as you type. I'm just trying to figure out what you are trying to say. And, I still have no idea!
