Baked Savory Cottage Cheese & Salami Pasta Bake

Ingredients

- 2 cups Cottage Cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 cups Tomato Sauce
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1/2 cup Sliced Salami, chopped
- 1/2 cup Sliced Pepperoni, chopped
- 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.

2. Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, mix the cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, dried oregano, and black pepper until well combined. This mixture will help to bind the other ingredients and add flavor.

3. Add Flour: Gradually incorporate the flour into the cottage cheese mixture. Stir until the ingredients form a smooth batter. This batter will hold the pasta bake together.

4. Assemble the Bake: In a baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches), spread half of the tomato sauce on the bottom. Layer on half of the mozzarella cheese, salami, and pepperoni slices. Pour half of the cheese mixture over these ingredients.

5. Repeat Layers: Add another layer by spreading the remaining tomato sauce, followed by the remaining salami and pepperoni. Pour the rest of the cheese mixture on top of these layers.

6. Top with Cheeses: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and all the Parmesan cheese over the top of the assembled layers to create a flavorful, cheesy crust.

7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake uncovered for approximately 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

8. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This resting time will help the bake to set and make serving easier.
